The error looks like this:
Reason
You are trying to install ShortPoint SPFx for both modern and classic pages. But scripting capabilities are not enabled on the site and it is required for ShortPoint SPFx to work on classic sites and pages.
Solution 1: Go with Modern Pages only
This option does not require enabling scripting capabilities. There are some really great features introduced in Modern SharePoint Framework, and we are sure you will love our Modern ShortPoint Experience too!
Important: With this option, you shall no longer be able to use ShortPoint on classic pages.
Note For SharePoint Microsoft 365 users, this is the recommended solution as scripting capabilities will be fully disabled at the end of November 2024. Check out our article on ShortPoint Microsoft 365 Classic Pages Deprecation: Transforming Classic Pages to Modern Pages for more information.
Solution 2: Go with both Classic and Modern Pages by Enabling Scripting Capabilities
Enabling Scripting Capabilities allows you to use ShortPoint on Classic Pages, too.
NOTEStarting March 2024, Microsoft will remove the ability to enable scripting capabilities in the SharePoint admin center.
However, users can still enable this option through PowerShell.
