I’ve installed node and docker, but when I run this: npm i -g @forge/cli
I get this error:

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Doug,

From this line:

request to https://nodejs.org/download/release/v18.12.1/node-v18.12.1-headers.tar.gz failed, reason: unable to get local issuer certificate

It seems the install script is unable to connect to the Internet; perhaps you are behind a firewall or proxy that supplies invalid site certificates? Try installing Forge without using a proxy, or talk to your network administrator about this.
