to fix it:
npm install sqlite3 --save
@giacomosilli I also had same problem and I used that command but the problem is it worked for 10 min perfect after that It is stopping on its own and I need to install that command everytime is there any solution???
Or else [I installed that command in ghost directory…should I install it in other place??]
i don’t know, after i gave that command from me it works fine, i don’t have to repeat it every time. Better to wait for feedback from the staff
i used the command npm install sqlite3 --save but while processing python modify setup window pop up and on selecting modify or replace or cancel it gives me error and im stuck on this loop

try this:
npm install sqlite3 --build-from-source
if that still doesn’t work:
npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
npm install -g node-gyp
npm install sqlite3 --save
I’m having the exact same issue as above and this did unfortunately not work for me.
have you tried to open powershell as administrator? after executing those commands, close and reopen the terminal, and try again
