The install failed on Alpine Linux v3.20 with npm install command.

Prerequisite :

apk add npm

Install command :

# npm i -g @vscode/vsce
npm error code 1

@StidOfficial Following last step should have succeeded

It seems failing to download from https://registry.npmjs.org/@vscode/vsce-sign-alpine-x64/-/vsce-sign-alpine-x64-2.0.2.tgz - Can you please check downloading manually? Can you also please share the complete log in /root/.npm/_logs/2024-09-26T19_03_16_874Z-debug-0.log

I can download the file :

# curl https://registry.npmjs.org/@vscode/vsce-sign-alpine-x64/-/vsce-sign-alpine-x64-2.0.2.tgz -o /dev/null

Hmm, it was not clear what caused the download to fail. Can you please try installing npm install @vscode/vsce-sign package in some dummy node folder?
