Can anyone break down how to successfully set up a hardhat project on windows? I keep running into the HH12 error: "Error HH12: Trying to use a non-local installation of Hardhat, which is not supported. Please install Hardhat locally using npm or Yarn, and try again."
My understanding is that it is a Windows problem, but I haven't found any comprehensive instructions to solve this error. I've tried all the solutions I found online, but none work.
Any tips? Thanks!
When I run npm install --save-dev hardhat I also get a peer dependency issue. Anyone able to solve the issue?
Conflicting peer dependency: @nomiclabs/[email protected]
npm ERR! node_modules/@nomiclabs/hardhat-ethers

Probably it is legacy deps issue. The ethers library is sometimes conflicting.
Use command npm install --save-dev hardhat --legacy-peer-deps
--legacy-peer-deps: ignore all peer dependencies when installing, in the style of npm version 4 through version 6.
Other solution is to probably use yarn instead of npm.
npm init -yand then runnpm install --save-dev hardhat
