While installing maestro facing this error?

Need to install Maestro mobile automation tool using npm

Answer 1

Maestro is not an npm package, and so cannot be installed using npm.

Installation for Mac/Linux is simply curl -Ls "https://get.maestro.mobile.dev" | bash.

It looks like you're on Windows, which is a little more complicated, in that you'll need to install the Windows Subsystem for Linux and Java first. There's a guide for that in the Maestro docs here.
