Unable to install npm package on Windows

If I run npm install -g @sourcegraph/src I get the following output:

PS C:\Dev\Sourcegraph\cody> npm install -g @sourcegraph/src

It's not clear to me if the download is failing (that URL appears correct) or if chmod is failing to find src.exe. There's not much more detail in the full log:

I'm using Windows 11:

With these versions of node/npm:

PS C:\Dev\Sourcegraph\cody> node --version
v18.18.2
PS C:\Dev\Sourcegraph\cody> npm --version
10.1.0

Thank you for reporting! Seems like this might get fixed by using executableName here instead of "src"

https://github.com/sourcegraph/src-cli/blob/main/npm-distribution/install.js#L59

I'll try to reproduce and fix on my Windows computer
