Cannot add bootstrap4 or materialize

help

Hello guys,

For some reason whenever I try to add any package out there with materalize CSS or bootstrap 4, I am getting errors…

Here’s an example of one


C:\Projects\ConeTrips>meteor add huttonr:bootstrap4
 => Errors while adding packages:

While loading huttonr:bootstrap4@4.0.0_15...:

How do I fix this? I also tried meteor add materialize:materialize and chuikoff:bootstrap-4

Sorry mate, no experience on Windows… I have had issues when things complain about node-pre-gyp though… it usually ends up having something to do with my node/npm version.

Any time I run into problems with either node_modules or meteor packages, unless I’m customizing them, I try to scortched-earth remove them all and add again. It is usually less time than tracking down which is currently messed up.

best of luck

I ended up using bootstrapv3 instead. At least it works. :grinning:
