or

The only package manager working was 'npm'

Interesting. What happens when you run corepack enable?

[Norbert-Brett]

It only works if you use Corepack installed. Another workaround, if you don't want Corepack installed, is to manually install it from within that folder after the error prompt.

Latest version of nuxi (3.8.2) has a fallback mechanism when corepack is not available. Let me know if still experiencing issues to investigate.
