I’m getting the same error. But it appears no one from the nuxt team is looking at this issue so maybe someone should open a new one?

npx create-nuxt-app example-app

throws this error:

.../.npm/_npx/335/lib/node_modules/create-nuxt-app/node_modules/sao/lib/installPackages.js:108 throw new SAOError(Failed to install ${packageName} in ${cwd})

I got into this problem on Ubuntu 18. node was installed using snap. Got it working working by installing node using nvm: sudo snap remove node curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash restart terminal to load nvm nvm install v12.16.3 npx create-nuxt-app my-app

I’m not 100% sure but I think the node snap package tries to install node_gyp c++ module and some C++ compilation problems occur. That’s why some people reported that it works when installing g++.

Hope this can help somebody
