pardon the revival of my post, but I've got some detailed info to share and hopefully get some feedback.

I've tried to install Joplin Terminal on WSL2 again on a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 LTS installation. Did a sudo update and upgrade.

I've installed node version 12+ according to the Joplin github guide.  
I got my node from: [GitHub - nodesource/distributions: NodeSource Node.js Binary Distributions](https://github.com/nodesource/distributions)  
I proceed installing yarn.

and finally used the command to install joplin:

```auto
NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX=~/.joplin-bin npm install -g joplin

```

I got an error that it could not reach the sqlite3 with an 403 error:

> sqlite3@5.0.1 install /home/symisz/.joplin-bin/lib/node\_modules/joplin/node\_modules/sqlite3  
> node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build  
> node-pre-gyp WARN Using request for node-pre-gyp https download  
> node-pre-gyp WARN Tried to download(403): [https://mapbox-node-binary.s3.amazonaws.com/sqlite3/v5.0.1/napi-v6-linux-x64.tar.gz](https://mapbox-node-binary.s3.amazonaws.com/sqlite3/v5.0.1/napi-v6-linux-x64.tar.gz)  
> node-pre-gyp WARN Pre-built binaries not found for sqlite3@5.0.1 and node@12.20.1 (node-v72 ABI, glibc) (falling back to source compile with node-gyp)

Can I manually install sqlite3 if I find a different source to complete the Joplin installation?

~~old post:~~

I'm a bit confused on how to get this working under Windows. I have WSL2 installed and from here I tried the nvm, a node version manager and installed the latest node with npm, but I get an error after this stating that package.json not being available etc.

Has anyone manage to get the Joplin terminal working under Windows?

edit: I'm getting deprecated errors while installing with command `npm -g install joplin`
