Hi,
New to Balena and trying to get everything up and running. I’ve been following the guide: https://www.balena.io/open/docs/getting-started/ however when I try to install the balena-cli I constantly get errors. I’ve tried via windows command prompt and Windows Subsytem for Linux on Ubuntu 18.4.
I’ve also seen people use: sudo npm -g i balena-cli but I still get the same error:
npm WARN deprecated graceful-fs@3.0.11: please upgrade to graceful-fs 4 for compatibility with current and future versions of Node.js
npm WARN deprecated natives@1.1.6: This module relies on Node.js's internals and will break at some point. Do not use it, and update to graceful-fs@4.x.
npm WARN deprecated graceful-fs@1.2.3: please upgrade to graceful-fs 4 for compatibility with current and future versions of Node.js

Can anyone suggest any alternatives?
I’m just trying it in an Ubuntu VM but ideally I need this via WSL
Thanks
