In my case I got that error while using node v16.13.0. After I switched to v10.24.1, it got solved.

I'm on In Windows 10 with node 16.
For me, the solution was either running commands
set NODE_ENV=development
$env:NODE_ENV="development"
or calling the npm install command with admin rights inside PowerShell
By the way, when I switched to node v12, it worked for me as well.

npm install giving error: pathspec '4.0' did not match any file(s) known to git

I had cloned a truffle project from GitHub, while doing npm install am getting following error:

Why I'm seeing this when I do npm install

After running npm I'm seeing this error. How do I resolve it?

I ran:
npm install puppeteer --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root
but it didn't help.
Run this command:
npm config set puppeteer_skip_chromium_download true -g
And then try to install again
PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD=true npm install puppeteer

ElectronJs: Not able to install "install.js:22 throw err"

I am starting with Electron js and I have stumbled on the very first step which is installed Electron.
I am running the following command to install electron provided at

npm install electron-prebuilt --save-dev
Following is the result of the command

Does C:\Users\vikas\Desktop\electron apps\example\package.json exist? If not try running npm init to create it, and then run npm install electron-prebuilt --save-dev again.
this is bug and a workaround is provided on github : Source
Here is the workaround:
rm -rf ~/.electron/
rm -rf ~/.atom/
npm cache clear
npm install
I was facing a similar issue. But opening the command prompt as administrator (Windows) and reinstalling electron fixed the issue.

yodoctor: command not found when installing yo from terminal

Below is the error I keep getting. It seems to indicate a "post-install" issue with yodoctor. Sadly yodoctor is the advice given by the yeoman team to help with this issue. I have other node_modules installed (bower, grunt, typescript).
sh: yodoctor: command not found

This error is generally caused because someone used sudo at some point and messed up their npm package directory permissions. As a rule of thumb, never ever use sudo.
So how can you fix it? Here's a couple troubleshooting points:
Make sure you update npm to the latest version (npm install -g npm). npm 2.x had some race conditions that would try to run yodoctor before it is installed.
Make sure the global npm module folders is chown/chmod to your user.
Make sure npm module binaries is in your PATH.
If nothing works, then you can force install it by running npm i -g yeoman-doctor && npm i -g yo - but that really is a last recourse solution.
Just the following command would do the trick:
sudo npm install -g yo
if not, find where yo is, add it to the path as follows:
export PATH="$PATH:<path where yo is installed>"

npm intstall: binding.node is missing

I tried to install npm on my local machine (Mac OS) but when I run npm start, it keeps giving me this error with node_sass. Even when I run
sudo npm install node_sass
it doesn't fix the problem.

Looked around and these people are experiencing a similar error due to binding.node missing from SASS.
