Hello Sid, Welcome to the Prismic community and thanks for reaching out to us. Could you please check all the information given in this thread? It has a troubleshooting guide link too. > [@Error running Slice Machine command](https://community.prismic.io/t/error-running-slice-machine-command/3504): > > I am following the quick start guide for Nuxt here: Running the slice machine setup command gives me the following error: It then hangs on 'Downloading files from server'. Any ideas would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance. Let me know if it still doesn't solve the issue. Thanks, Priyanka ---

I am getting this same error and it appears that the react dependency has not been updated to handle the new React 17 release being used by the latest release of next. Is there any update on this issue? ---

Looks like the issue I was having has to do with the way that npm checks dependencies in newer versions. I was able to get it to work when I switched to node 14.15.4 and npm vs 6.14.10 ---

Hey @sid.turner.ellis, @ryan.huber, sorry for the delay, the issue has been fixed! You should not experience the issue anymore when running `$ prismic sm --setup` with NPM 7. If you downgraded to NPM 6 (Node 14) in the meantime, you can get back to 7 again! Just make sure to update `next-slicezone` to `0.0.13` or higher~ šŸ˜Œ ---
