I've already installed Node.js in my machine. When I try npm install, the installation does not properly work for me. I get the following on my console:
Installed node version 14.15.1
Installed npm version 6.14.8
Installed angular cli version 11.2.3
And then some errors pop up. Here's a screenshot of my console:
Any of the following methods might be useful for you:
Method 1: Clean cache & then perform an installation
npm cache clean --force
npm install
Method 2: Exclude package-lock.json file and perform an installation
npm install --no-package-lock
Method 3: Manually delete node_modules and package-lock.json file and then perform an installation
npm install
node v10.15.0
npm v6.4.1
I inherited a project that has an npm-shrinkwrap.json next to the package.json.
When I run npm install I get errors like the following for the files in every single package that should be downloaded
npm WARN tar ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\...\node_modules\.staging\core-js-12a70f6a\fn\number\virtual\index.js'
Checking the .staging folder I see that the files are actually there!
Out of curiosity I removed the npm-shrinkwrap.json and run npm install again and now it creates the node_modules folders as expected.
I found that shrinkwrap is an old method, replaced by the lock mechanism in later NPM versions?
Would it be save to just delete the npm-shrinkwrap.json and not run into any issues with package versions later?
I'm trying to run this command:
npm ci
And it returns this error:
npm ERR! pkg-dir not accessible from find-cache-dir
What am I missing here?
So it turned out that my package-lock.json file was out of sync with package.json. I ran npm i, which regenerated an in-sync version of package-lock.json, which I eventually used in other environments to successfully run npm ci command.
Just running npm i again didn't fix the issue for me. Deleting my existing package-lock.json and my node_modules folder, then running npm i generated an updated package-lock.json file. Afterwards, npm ci worked.
Problem is with compatibility between versions of Node and NPM, in my case upgrading NPM to 8.5.5 and Node to 18.12.1 worked
Upon reinstalling Windows 10 (and Node.js), the gulp command isn't found. I ran it from my root folder containing package.json and the node_modules folder. I tried npm install gulp, and also npm install: gulp command still not found. I'm a bit puzzled.
Any idea?
do you re install node and npm again? when you re install node try with npm install -g gulp
npm install -g gulp will install gulp globally, so that you can use it as a command.
A better way to do it, is to use npm install gulp (without the -g) to install it into each local project, and fire it off using npm start scripts in each project's package.json.
I was using gulp on the project, then i decide to deleted all the dev dependencies to switch to webpack, but every time i try to install using npm is get this error:
npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: fsevents#1.1.3 (node_modules\fsevents):

any idea what can be happening.
just delete package-lock.json file and then install packages, that's all you need and should be works
rm package-lock.json && npm i
When I got this error I looked for all running instances of node in my task manager (i use process explorer on windows) and close/kill all running instances of node. For me its often webstorm or vs code. After closing these programs and ensuring there is no running node process npm install works again.
cache verify command resolved the issue for me
npm cache verify
I remove node_modules and package_lock.json. Then, npm install and it works
Iam using
-node v15.5.0
-npm v6.14.10
Try this:
close "expo start"
remove "package-lock.json"
Try to install packages now
example: npm i #react-navigation/native
This will fix the issue.
The simplest fix for me was:
npm uninstall -g
Then:
npm install -g
The second line may give a hint on what's happening:
npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, rename 'C:\Users\MiguelFrias\Desktop\Therabytes\node_modules\.staging\fsevents-e80c4ef4\node_modules\are-we-there-yet' -> 'C:\Users\MiguelFrias\Desktop\Therabytes\node_modules\.staging\are-we-there-yet-5db4c798'
It looks like npm doesn't have enough permission on the folder you're trying to use.
You can try:
Delete the npm_modules again.
Open whatever editor/terminal you're using to npm install with admin permission.
I found a solution for the problem, apparently is some kinda problem with the last version of npm, i was using npm version 5.6.0 and i downgraded to npm version 5.3.0. This did work after all, after intall a couple packages i still get the same error.
ok change version of npm for the last version 5.8.0 now everything working just perfect, before was some kind of problem with atom that denied the permission the building process to install the dependencies of the package.
I just retried to run
npm install
and it succeeded
For me, package-lock.json was not created and script was failing before itself.
This fixed my issue:
- deleted my node_modules.
- npm cache clean
- opened cmd as administrator at the repository folder
- logged-in to the https://registry.npmjs.org/ using username and passoward as few of my components needed authentication to install.
- npm i
If you ever get this error, the hotfix is to follow these steps:
delete node-modules folder
run command npm cache clean --force
run command npm install
install the package again with npm install your-package-name
Actually the current package you are installing has some dependencies which is not being found my npm. So, before installing this package just perform the following command. (It will install all your listed dependencies mentioned in package.json file which are necesaary to run your application)
npm install
It works...!
For not to delete package-lock.json or node_modules every time, just add file ".npmrc" with content "package-lock=false", or add this string if file ".npmrc" already exists.
You can try by removing the package-lock.json with the command rm package-lock.json then you go to the Node.JS website you 'install it' by going to LTS then after your node is updated run npm install in your terminal and that worked for me.
Just update the node to the latest version.
It solved my problem.
I was running command in Ubuntu wsl and it wasn't working so i tried running in cmd prompt and it worked
Kindly check any package.json is open anywhere, then close it first then retry.
For me I just deleted both package-lock.json & node_modules folder. Now everything works great 😃
Another thing I've seen a lot on projects that have been around and gone through multiple contributors:
Double check to see if anyone on your team has simultaneously done a npm install and yarn.
The tell-tale sign is you'll see a package-lock.json (generated by npm) and yarn-lock.json (generated by yarn) in the same repo. This can cause side-effects from collisions in the node_modules folder.
You can try dumping that folder locally, establishing a package manager of choice for your project and instructing the whole team on best practices.
For me I had to sudo the npm install command. Don't know why... Don't want to know either.
sudo npm install --save-dev my_package
These steps work for me:
1. run "npm cache verify" or
2. remove node_modules and package-lock.json
and rerun command)
Sometimes it can be the fault of the package you are trying to install. If that package is a local package and has a node_modules folder. Try:
cd /path/to/package
rm -rf package-lock.json npm-shrinkwrap
npm install
Happen to me when I was coding react native app with expo,
when I was run the app and try to install form npm happen that error.
So just stop run the app and reinstall the package
for me it work fine
Updating npm to latest version worked for me.
A combination of the answers from above worked for me:
Restart the computer ( in my case WSL );
Run the commands from bellow from your chosen terminal, not from VSCode terminal
npm cache clean -f
rm -rf node_modules
rm package-lock.json
npm install
Good luck! :) ✌
Dont run cmd in root of a directory.
there might be one directory inside which u try to run.
cd Directory
npm i
In may case, it was next-i18next.config.js,
that had duplicated languages in the locales value,
and fallbackLng with existing languages refer to existing languages.
This works for me,
rm -rf ./**/node_modules
while I need lerna bootstrap
This worked for me (on command line in Ubuntu):
Update Node using
sudo npm install -g n
followed by
sudo n 16.13.2
Closed and reopened shell, cd back into the correct repo and then
sudo install npm -g
Deleting package-lock.json or node_modules & After running:
npm install -g npm
it is working for me.
