[Flutter] Multiple Problems with connecting Firebase to Flutter Project

I've been trying to connect Firebase to a Flutter project and am running into problems at every turn.

• I downloaded the Firebase CLI for Windows and added it to the file where my Flutter project is
• Via Firebase CLI, I checked that I was logged in (command: firebase login) and checked my Firebase project was there (firebase projects: list). I was logged in and the project was there.
• I ran flutter doctor, and all came back with green ticks.
• I then ran npm i -g firebase-tools and I'm getting errors everywhere:

npm ERR! code 1 npm ERR! path C:\Users\m.cache\firebase\tools\node_modules\firebase-tools\node_modules\protobufjs npm ERR! command failed npm ERR! command C:\Users\m.cache\firebase\runtime/shell.bat -c -- node scripts/postinstall npm ERR! '--' is not recognized as an internal or external command, npm ERR! operable program or batch file.

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in: npm ERR! C:\Users\m\AppData\Local\npm-cache_logs\2024-11-09T23_12_28_964Z-debug-0.log

• I also tried running npm install -g firebase-tools --force, which had the same output.

Any idea how I can fix this?
