Terminal cannot be shown on windows

[jon-si]

System information:

OS: Windows 11 10.0.22631

CPU: (16) x64 AMD Ryzen 7 5700U with Radeon Graphics

Memory: 2.01 GB / 15.34 GB

Binaries:

• Node: 20.15.0 - C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.EXE

• npm: 10.8.3 - C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm.CMD

• node-pty - 1.0.0

Issue Description

The package used for the in-app terminal, specifically node-pty, seems to be a package that is not compatible with Windows (other team members on Macbooks had no issues). This issue also seems to be a common, existing issue, documented here on the node-pty github page.

This is the current error show upon install attempt:

npm install --save node-pty
