I was tempted to poke around the Developers section of ArcGIS, in the hopes of perhaps fingaling my way to a widget that behaved the way I wanted it to.
The requirements included your own installation of the ExB Developer Edition ~for which there is a handy video that purports to 'walk the viewer through the installation steps.' There's a bit of a gap in the instructions 37 seconds in.
But I was able to download & install nodejs, and the various "necessary tools" for its use, including "Chocolatey."
I have opened cmd prompts to "clean install" the client and server, but typing npm ci does nothing.
So, I'm stuck on Step #8 of installing the Developer Edition.
Any ideas re: how to proceed?
This is probably a rookie mistake, and we'll all have a good laugh later, but I'm no where near starting the 15 minute 'Create a starter widget' tutorial.
Solved! Go to Solution.
It was, as I'd supposed, a newbie error. And it was your question that led me to the solution.
The failing cmd window printed:
...clearly showing that it was trying to find nodejs in C:\Program Files (x86)\ and version 1.3.2
When I'd downloaded the newest version into C:\Program Files\
So I renamed the original nodejs folder to nodejs_old, and reinstalled the nodejs to the x86 folder.
Step #8 now works without a hitch.
Hey David,
What version of node do you have installed?

Hi David,
Glad you got it working.
Cheers,

Can you try just install Node.js default option (not select like Chocolatey)? and run npm comments as administrator.
I have a similar issue when trying to do a new install Experience Builder Developer Edition 1.14. I have Node.js v 22.3.0 and it is installed in the x86 folder. When I run step 10 on the workflow below, the slash bar spins for a very long time and nothing reports. Has anybody else experienced this?
