This is a common Windows npm issue. The ENOENT error typically means npm can't find its cache or there's a permissions problem. Here's how to fix it:

Quick Fixes

1. Clear npm cache:

npm cache clean --force

2. Delete any incomplete install and retry:

# In the directory where moltbot was being installed
Remove-Item -Recurse -Force node_modules
Remove-Item package-lock.json
npm install
#

3. If npm itself is broken, reinstall:

# Download and run the official Node.js installer from https://nodejs.org
# Make sure to check "Automatically install necessary tools" option

4. Alternative - Use pnpm (recommended for Moltbot):

# Install pnpm first
npm install -g pnpm

# Then install moltbot
pnpm install moltbot@latest

The pnpm approach is actually what Moltbot docs recommend — it's more reliable on Windows than npm.
