```

I’ve tried several sample projects but can’t get past the first hurdle.

I’ve also tried this tutorial with no luck, [https://serverless-stack.com/](https://serverless-stack.com/)

I am running my command line as administrator but still no luck

I have the same issue. Was working last week and just stopped. Look forward to a solution.
