As a developer building applications on the Solana blockchain, you have probably come across the popular Matic ecosystem and its various tools. One such tool is the MetaX (Meta) CLI, which provides an easy way to interact with the MetaX protocol. In this article, we will walk you through installing the MetaX CLI for the Solana blockchain using npm.

The Problem

The error message “npm install -g @metaplex-foundation/cli –> root@lancifrake:~/alchemy/solana-nft-tutorial/template/2-build

npm install -g @…” indicates that the installation failed due to an error in the npm installation process. Specifically, the command attempts to install the MetaX CLI globally using npm install -g.

The Solution

To fix this issue, you need to update your package manager (npm) and then try to install the MetaX CLI again. Here is a step-by-step guide:

Update npm

First, make sure your npm version is up to date:

npm cache purge --force

Then install the latest npm version:

npm install -g npm@latest

Install MetaX CLI

After updating npm, you can install MetaX CLI with the following command:

npm install -g @metaplex-foundation/cli

metax --version

You should see a version number indicating that MetaX CLI is installed and up to date.

• Make sure you have a stable internet connection.

• Make sure your npm cache is clear before trying to install MetaX CLI again.
