Re: npm install

Peter,

I would recommend using a "real" Unix terminal rather than 5250.  The 
way I do that is by running the SSH daemon (STRTCPSVR *SSHD) and 
connecting with the free Putty client from Windows.

There are many other ways, though.

The funny codes you see like [0G\ are escape sequences that direct the 
terminal to do something.  They will not show up correctly in a 5250 
terminal.

In your example, it looks like it's trying to make a "spinning" bar 
character by erasing and drawing characters in the same position of the 
screen.  Just a little "while you wait" type of animation that won't 
work in 5250 and just looks confusing.

By using a real terminal you can, hopefully, see what the actual error is.
