The fix was just to install rimraf manually: npm install --global rimraf
Looks like this is coming from https://github.com/hyperjump-io/json-schema-validator, one of Alterschema's dependencies. Let me file an issue there for you.

@timbunce What operating system, Node.js and npm versions are you running? From what I understand, npx rimraf should be pulling rimraf on demand if it's not available, so not sure why it's not working for you.
Not working for me either. I am using Node v18.4.0. I am using Volta to manage Node versions (and npm/yarn/pnpm). Could volta be at fault here?
@Zizico2 Does npx usually work for you in that environment? What happens if you do npx rimraf directly from within your terminal session?
A potential workaround while we get this fixed upstream would be to install the package without running any scripts. For example:
npm install --global --ignore-scripts alterschemaI believe Yarn has an equivalent.

It works just fine
According to hyperjump-io/json-schema#16, the problem is reproducible only when installing using sudo. Can you confirm this is the case for you too?
