I can't install cypress recorder by terminal in vscode

Question

I have npm version 10.2.0 and cypress version 13.3.1 and when I try to install cypress recorder with the command

npm install cypress-recorder -D

the terminal gives me the error

npm ERR! code E404
npm ERR! 404 Not Found - GET https://registry.npmjs.org/cypress-recorder - Not found
npm ERR! 404
npm ERR! 404  'cypress-recorder@*' is not in this registry.
npm ERR! 404
npm ERR! 404 Note that you can also install from a
npm ERR! 404 tarball, folder, http url, or git url.`

I tried to use

yarn add cypress-recorder -D

but it didn't work by giving me the same error.

What can I do?

Answer 1

It's one of two things -

• cypress-io/cypress-recorder-extension

• webstore/detail/cypress-recorder

Both are extensions, not npm packages. You will need to add them to the chrome browser.
