Truffle console error Could not find suitable configuration file

Question

I have installed truffle in Windows 10 and have created a project. Now I want to compile, migrate and deploy the project. For this, I am trying to open truffle console with the command:

truffle console

But I am getting this error:

Could not find a suitable configuration file.

Answer 1

This is a problem common with truffle on the Windows platform. When you install truffle, for some reason gives configuration error. To solve this, you can force install truffle which will set the configurations. Use this command:

npm install --force -g truffle

Answer 2

First, initialize truffle project by running:

$ truffle init

And then make necessary changes and migrate using:

$ truffle migrate
