Troubleshoot installation and login

Installation failures usually come from an unsupported Node.js version, npm permissions, package resolution, or authentication setup.

Use the current implementation

The published package requires Node.js >=22.12.0. Verify with node --version, install with npm install -g @compass-ai/nova, and verify with nova --version. If the command is missing, inspect the npm global bin path before reinstalling.

Boundaries and safety

Do not work around permission errors by running arbitrary scripts as an administrator. Keep the package source and version visible when reporting a failure.
