Hi @lovepangolin. Make sure you followed this.

https://shopify.dev/docs/api/shopify-cli

Thanks.

I have the same problem.

And following this is not a solution.

https://shopify.dev/docs/api/shopify-cli
still have the same error

[duxngnd]

I am facing the same issue. Did you solve it?

[wayforward]

Were you able to solve this issue?

[Abhinandan48]

Removing the space from username can only help. I myself had tried alot of methods but none works.

[wayforward]

It did not work.

I created another user with one word and no space. Installed everything but the same error.

Also, everything was working fine and suddenly from last couple of days the issue started and I don't remember updating anything that may have caused this

[Abhinandan48]

This happening because there is space between your username.

Ruby unfortunately use unix file architecture.
