I am following the guide, but I am stuck on this error:

I have node 6.9.2 and npm 3.10.8 installed and working properly. What may be the reason then?

Have the same issue! I am on windows with node 6.9.1 and npm 3.10.8. I tried to install it in an existing create-react-app application...

You get this if you have any internal package issue. I had the same, and it was due to a proxy registry that could not handle @kadira group for some reason. Run getstorybook first, and then run npm install, and you might get more specific error.

Thanks, that helped and got it working. Thanks guys!

I've just installed getstorybook and have the same issue. No proxies, nothing odd in my setup.

I was getting the same error on storybook, I was trying to install with pnpm instead I deleted node_modules and package-lock.json file. I installed all dependecie with npm and then I solved the problem by install npx storybook init

1. rm -rf node_modules
2. rm package-lock.json
3. npm install
4. npx storybook init
