When starting the server, I get prompted with this error and I don’t know what to do, I haven’t changed anything. I just imported the installer followed the steps with this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dB-d1Jo_Mk.

npm WARN config global `--global`, `--local` are deprecated. Use `--location=global` instead.

Hi :wave:
Where exactly do you get that error?

when starting the server so ‘Export’ gameobject > ‘start server’ or when just hitting the playbutton

  1. Which nodejs version are you using? (you can find that out when running node --version in the cmdline, npm --version would also be good to know)

  2. Where is your Unity project on disc?
