<![CDATA[Error at the installation: cannot find module 'rimraf']]>Hello there!

I have an issue when I paste the command to install MM. It is an ‘updated link to install MM’ I found on this forum because the original one is giving me a lot of trouble. So I try new things :cowboy_hat_face:

When I manualy try to install rimraf with ‘npm install rimraf’ I have the same error.

Do you have any idea? And sorry for my english it isn’t my mother tongue.

Thanks! :grinning_face:
