 * I keep getting the same error and the dependencies fail to install:
 * npm error code E404
   npm error 404 Not Found – GET [https://registry.npmjs.org/@wordpress%2fvips](https://registry.npmjs.org/@wordpress%2fvips)–
   Not foundnpm error 404npm error 404 The requested resource ‘@wordpress/vips@^
   1.0.0-prerelease’ could not be found or you do not have permission to access 
   it.
 * When trying to use either the
 *     ```wp-block-code
       npx @wordpress/create-block@latest
       ```
   
 * or
 *     ```wp-block-code
       npm install @wordpress/scripts --save-dev
       ```
   
 * I made sure to use the latest LTS (Long Term Support) version of Node.js. This
   is on Mac. I’ve never had any issues with these packages before today.

 * You don’t seem to be the only one: [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/75686](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/75686)–
   I think this should be reported as a separate issue and then investigated by 
   the Gutenberg team.

 * Here’s the temporary fix I found on GitHub for now since it’s still bugged for
   anyone trying to use this.
 * Run npx [@wordpress](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wordpress/)/create-block@latest
 * After setup, and once you get the error, open the files created and navigate 
   to the package.json. Add the following above “dependencies”
 *     ```wp-block-code
       ”overrides”: {       “@wordpress/upload-media”: “0.24.0”},
       ```
   
 * then cd back to the folder that contains your custom block and run npm install
   [@wordpress](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wordpress/)/scripts –save-dev
 * You should be able to npm run start and build after.

 * Thanks [@davavalos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davavalos/)! Overrides
   works….but it doesn’t do anything about the new vulnerabilities.
 * Issue can be followed on Github here: [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/75718](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/75718)

 * It’s just an npm registry/cache issue — the `@wordpress/vips` prerelease package
   isn’t available right now.
 * Clear the npm cache, reset the registry, and try the install again — it usually
   fixes the problem.

 * It was a bug that WordPress has now fixed. Check the linked GitHub issue above
   for more information. Thanks!
