Did 0.123.0 run on your machine? Just wondering if this is a regression in 0.124.0 or perhaps a configuration issue on your system? We haven't seen this problem internally or received reports (yet) from other users.

Edit: I see more upvotes coming in now.

Upgrade from 0.123. My env is ubuntu24.04. Downloading the bin directly can work. But npm install is broken. It's not related to the binary.

This may be a timing issue. It can take a little while for uploads to npm to complete. Give it a few minutes and try again.

Yes, i think that's the case, i just did another install and now it works for me.
