Could not read installed version from…

Error message

Could not read installed version from node_modules/@maximhq/bifrost/package.json

What it means

Post-install verification guard in the Bifrost installer: after `runNpm install` completes, getInstalledVersion() re-reads node_modules/@maximhq/bifrost/package.json inside BIFROST_INSTALL_DIR and this fires when that read yields nothing — meaning npm reported success but the package.json is missing, unreadable, or lacks a version field (partial install, npm cache corruption, disk/permission issue, or the package failed to extract).

Solutions

1. Delete the install dir and retry the install to rule out a partially extracted node_modules
2. Verify npm/node versions and available disk space on the host
3. Clear the npm cache (npm cache clean --force) if corruption is suspected
4. Check filesystem permissions on the DATA_DIR where BIFROST_INSTALL_DIR lives
