SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input

[emailsubjekt]

Hi, when I use the exe file and run it for the first time it gives out the following error below:

###############

~ Let's make sure your Firebase CLI is ready...
undefined:1

SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input

Any advice how to fix this error?

I Managed to fix this by just typing "firebase" in the console within the exe file, you guys should try that.

1. delete C:\Users\USERNAME.cache\firebase
2. Run firebase-win-exe
3. Authentication process will start you press Y
   Allow Firebase to collect CLI and Emulator Suite usage and error reporting information? Y
4. Copy a google link and paste it into browser and Log into your google account to allow access to firebase
5. Success! Logged in as tahira6020@gmail.com
