Start from a normal npm installation, not an install that blocks package scripts, and bind only to the default loopback address until the browser trust and network implications are understood.

Safe workflow
Use the smallest reversible workflow first. Do not add community plugins or paste credentials while validating the base behavior.
- Check runtime and OS prerequisites.
- Run only the official command shown in the versioned code block.
- Verify the version and local URL before configuring a provider.
Verify before moving on
A successful result should be observable: a version string, reachable local URL, valid provider response, loaded configuration, or disappearance of the exact error. If the result differs, stop and capture sanitized evidence rather than stacking unrelated fixes.
- Record the exact dsh, Node or Python version.
- State the operating system and installation method.
- Link the first-party source and include only sanitized logs.
First-party sources
Open the original source before acting on a changed version or unresolved community report.
