It succeeded the second time, so unsure why. Will leave the issue open in case it can be used to do anything about it.

Same issue for me and oddly as well it succeeded when I re-ran npm i command 🤔

I'm on macOS 14.5 and re-running it does not solve the issue. The error message is a bit different, though:

"volta" "install" "node"
Volta v1.1.1

Error cause: corrupt deflate stream

I tried removing the whole ~/.volta directory and reinstalling everything from scratch, but it didn't help

Also experiencing this issue and likewise the workarounds did not work for me. I also received the "corrupt deflate stream" error in the log file.

I think this may be related to #1744 – if any of you folks are up for running a special lots-of-extra-tracing build I just created, see #1784 and follow the instructions under To Test there!

Also, marking this as a duplicate of #1484 and closing it!
