snyk error while running 'npm install'.

[HJVeronica]

error code ELIFECYCLE
error errno 1
error vue-express-mongo-boilerplate@0.9.0 prepare: `npm run snyk-protect`
error Exit status 1
error Failed at the vue-express-mongo-boilerplate@0.9.0 prepare script.
error This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.
verbose exit [ 1, true ]

Tried updating Git (https://git-scm.com/download/win), and add C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\ to the PATH. But it didn't work.

So, I just removed these 2 lines from the package.json file for now:

"prepublish": "npm run snyk-protect",
"prepare": "npm run snyk-protect"

npm install worked after then, but I wanna know why I have been getting this error and how to fix it properly.

FYI, I've tried patch -v and got this:

Adding patch to the path was all I needed to do to get it working on Windows. The patch version is the same. What was the output before the error lines?
