Bolt.new unable to get past 'npm install && npm start' setups #176

Hi! Thanks for reporting this issue! We're tracking this issue internally and will let you know when we have a resolution. |
@kirjavascript any updates on this? |
|
We've been trying to improve on this in the background but due to the nature of the problem it's quite difficult to diagnose. Could you try again from a fresh project, and let us know the prompts you used to get there? |
@kirjavascript I have tried multiple projects; it mostly only happens when I ask for a portfolio site. It gets stuck right about when it tries to install idealtree builddeps. I think a good solution is to use https://bun.sh/ instead of npm, as it's abhorrently slow. |
|
@kirjavascript any updates? |
|
I have the same issue. The error says that it's using "https" for some request but only "http" is allowed. |
|
Same issue here; nothing I make gets past npm install and npm run dev. It tells me: And for npm run dev, I get:

@kirjavascript this seems like a prevalent issue that needs fixing. just following up! |
|
There was an issue that appeared where Someone has been assigned to work on this, I will add a message here when we have an update on it! |
|
actually, we just landed some improvements for fixing problems: https://x.com/stackblitz/status/1856399662351303017 maybe you could give it a whirl and let me know how it goes? |
|
I am experiencing the same issue: an error occurs when I run |
|
It's impossible to run something. Npm install & run dev basically not working. Live preview in every project is empty blank screen. Spent 1M token for nothing.
|
|
My app worked fine but now also encounting this issue |
|
The only work-around I found for this issue at least for NextJS Vite projects is to delete the package-lock.json file, then manually run "npm install" and "npm run dev" in the terminal. Install takes forever, upwards of 15 minutes sometimes, but this fix consistently works, tested on multiple projects. |
|
I am having the same issue and is taking a lot of tokens to fix :'D. Any updates? |
@kirjavascript This update hasn't seemed to help me, nor others. Is there anything more we can do to resolve this? |
|
dude I want my money back from the subscription I purchased. if your product doesn't work yet you can't charge people for it |
|
Any update? Stuck here? |
@kirjavascript It seems that this issue is affecting many, including paid, users. This is a major issue that needs resolving. How can we get this fixed? |
this doesnt work |

I was excited to try Bolt and signed up for it today. Running into the same problem with my first project. I tried running nom install in terminal per the above sugggestion (after deleting package-lock.json) but terminal returned errors about "resolving the dependency tree". Edit: I had another issue as well where the Preview was totally blank (just a white screen). In troubleshooting that Bold asked me to use Chrome or Firefox (I was using Safari) an in using Chrome today (11/19/2024) the project built properly with Preview functionality. |

Pareil , j'ai pris la solution payante et voici le resultat: La commande a échoué La commande a échoué |

Si il y a pas de support je vais résilier pour partir sur la solution open source. |

Same issue here, I submitted a ticket to just see if I could at least get some credits back at least, although a fix would be great, and maybe try some of the fixes people have mentioned on this thread --- but no response yet, we'll see.... Is there a way we can run the install manually some how? Or upload the dependency files? |
|
Farwell!! |
Yeah, I've switched to v0, and it's been wonderfully smooth and high quality. So much better than Bolt |
|
Hello, anyone out there... we seemingly cant get past this error.. any devs watching?? what is the resolution esp for paying subscribers!.. |
The solution at the moment is to vote with your wallet. Aka unsubscribe, at least that's what I've done. Just using up the remaining credits on other small things and side projects. The developers were extremely quick to close this issue within 24 hours and said that they will have a solution. But they didn't, their "switch browsers" one yielded nothing |
|
Hmm had high hopes following youtube video.. alas have you found any other similar sites offering AI build-to-release platforms worthy of note? |
I suppose it depends on how much backend programming you're familiar with. Since you'll still need to know how to implement auth0 and any other hooks to supbase if you're trying to monetize. You could try Or download Windsurf AI or try v0.dev (same thing as this but came before) |
|
Npm install still failing. 
|
|
i get the same issue when create a Vue site. |
|
Bolt is not ready for prime time. Keep looking, new AI Agents appearing everyday! |
|
without any resolution, how can the ticket get closed?? |
|
just wasted almost 1mn tokens due to this issue |
|
jsh: command not found: setup-nativescript-stackblitz
|
|
This bug is so insanely annoying. |
@chrisdeweese thanks for the tip ... I tried only deleting the package lock file and asked Bolt to fix the issues once more and it worked in a couple seconds. |
|
I too am running into this issue. |
|
Same issue still exists today |
Thank you! This worked for me with an Astro project I'm working on. Although it was super quick doing the |
|
This bug is not closed. Still happens today consistently on multiple projects. |
|
Wasted tonnes of credits on this, can't finish my project til issue resolved. |
|
More context ... in my case, when providing a long prompt at creation I get conflicts in the npm packages resulting in an error at npm install. I am using Angular. As an example, starting an Angular project with Firebase User management fails every time. Option #1: Start a project with a small prompt with only the framework and a general idea of the project. Then add Firebase User Management and Database. Works every time. Option #2: Ask Claude 3.5 to fix the packages dependencies for me. Make sure to ask bolt to do what Claude suggest or it will be lost the next time Bolt change the package.json file. I understand these are not ideal solutions but it saved me a ton of tokens. |
|
Use chrome |
|
@ANGio32 That is not a valid solution to this issue. We should be able to use whatever browser we choose, and not waste thousands of credits/money on not knowing about this error. |
|
this issue is still there and i cant push my project to deploy
|
|
I solved this similar problems: Ask Bolt: "Tell me what framework / template are this project built in" Solved! |
|
guys, bolt cant solve "npm install", i just manually test install package in local, then replace to bolt and it work ! |
|
for astro projects its getting stuck in the initial npm instal setup too. |

I am trying to develop a mobile app, but I always get stuck when deploying
a landing page to Netlify. The same TypeScript errors keep repeating. Is
there any solution? How can I deploy the app without encountering errors?

Switch from Safari to another browser helped! Guys, read the message buried in the hidden part of this thread. |

Same issue persists. Happening on all projects for me. |
and others
Describe the bug
There seems to be issues with Bolt.new setting up dependencies of any kind. They offer "fixes" which essentially loop into various recursion loops of the same problem to "fix" without actually fixing anything.
Link to the Bolt URL that caused the error
https://bolt.new/~/sb1-nwbhho
Steps to reproduce
Expected behavior
It should install the dependencies instead of going down an infinite loop.
