我們探索了 n8n 的三種安裝方法：
- Docker – 在執行 Windows Server 2019 Datacenter 的 Azure VM 上不受支援
- npx – 在過去 2 天內嘗試多次但均未成功
- npm – 也嘗試過多次但均未成功
到目前為止，所有方法都未成功。
你可能發現 Docker「不支援」的原因是 Windows Server 2019 預設使用 Windows Containers，但 n8n 需要 Linux Containers。
- 若要在 Windows Server 2019 上使用 Docker，你必須啟用 Hyper-V 角色並安裝 Docker Desktop（或設定 Docker Engine 透過 VM 執行 Linux 容器）。
- 警告：這比直接使用 Linux VM 複雜得多，也需要更多資源。
由於你使用的是 Azure，在 Ubuntu VM 上執行 n8n 是最專業且最穩定的方法，而不是使用 Windows Server。
n8n 是為 Linux 原生設計的。在 Ubuntu VM 上，你可以使用 Docker 在 5 分鐘內將其啟動運行，並且避免所有與 Windows 相關的「C++ Build Tool」困擾。
- Azure 設定：建立新 VM → 映像：Ubuntu 22.04 LTS。
- 安裝：只需執行 n8n 文件中的 Docker 指令。這是自託管 n8n 的業界標準。
這有幫助嗎？
@kjooleng 說中要點了！在虛擬機中建立 Ubuntu，最簡單和最乾淨的方式。
嘿 @vijaybh，上面兩個方法都不錯。為了更好地排查 npx/npm 的故障，你能分享一下你看到的確切錯誤訊息嗎？Windows Server 上的 npm 安裝經常因為缺少 C++ Build Tools（原生 node 模組需要）而失敗，這是一個不同於 Node.js 版本問題的解決方案。
執行以下命令並分享輸出結果：
node --version
npm --version
npm install -g n8n --verbose 2>&1 | Select-String "error"
這樣我們就能確切知道它在哪裡失敗，以及 Swapnil 的方法是否只需要一個額外的修復就能在你的設置上運行。

執行此操作
停用 npm 的嚴格 SSL (在命令提示字元中執行)：
npm config set strict-ssl false
清除 npm 快取：
npm cache clean --force
嘗試重新安裝 n8n：
npm install n8n -g
還有其他錯誤嗎？
