Why is it not possible to install the pre-release version 1.77.0?

I tried to install the pre-release version 1.77.0 on Windows 10, but I couldn’t succeed. Below is the information displayed in the command prompt window. I appreciate any suggestions and help in advance.

C:\Users\Administrator>npm install -g n8n@next

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:
  1. The package is definitely available on npm https://www.npmjs.com/package/@n8n/config/v/1.27.0
  2. This is a development dependency. npm should not be installing it. do you have any customizations on your npm config, that could be forcing it to download development dependencies? sorry, I got confused between @n8n/config and @n8n_io/eslint-config. please ignore point 2
