@writingpoli Can you please describe what you were trying to do when this error happened? Are you still able to use Desktop?

I just clicked npm on IPFS Desktop and this is the result. May need to add software, but thought I'd share the error message. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

Thanks - if you're trying to enable the "npm on IPFS" function (see screenshot for location, pardon that I'm on a Mac so the UI is slightly different), your OS will prompt you to confirm whether you'd like to install the ipfs-npm package locally. Looks like the error you experienced may have happened upon clicking 'Cancel' - I'll close this issue on that assumption, but if you have problems enabling the feature, please re-open.
