Error: Cannot find module '../lib/cli.js' - npm

i installed yarn/webpack and after that npm crashed! I get the following error:
npm -v
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:928
throw err;
^

The error appears whatever I like to do with npm. I'm working on Mac OSX 10.14.6
Node Version: 15.4.0
Yarn Version: 1.22.10
thanks for help.

This happened to me when I used brew install node. I fixed it by doing brew uninstall node (just to clean up) and then installing nodejs by downloading the package from https://nodejs.org/

Just uninstall using brew uninstall node, download and install package from https://nodejs.org.

How to fix?
here's how I solve the issue:
run npm list to see if there's any dependency missing, for example, I saw:
[root#d21b188bb7e1 configurable-http-proxy]# npm list
configurable-http-proxy#4.3.2 /srv/configurable-http-proxy
├── UNMET DEPENDENCY commander#~7.2.0
...
install it manually by
npm install --save commander#~7.2.0
This can happen for several different reasons.
In this case it is because mocha isn't installed.
Fix with
npm install --save-dev mocha

Not able to run any npm command due to following error - Error: Cannot find module 'semver'

previously node was working properly.
After that as i wanted to install express & socket.io.
it asked for node version update.
i tried to update node version & i believe i forgot some command to run in updation process.
now it's giving following error on any npm command. even if i type only npm, that'll give error.

Finally it got solved, i think following process worked.
deleted npm module from usr folder
I removed npm module
cleared the cache
installed npm
& it worked
The mistake i was doing was not clearing the cache

How do I fix this please?
rollback to version 2.4.3
npm install -g expo-cli#2.4.3
I installed the missing module using
npm install -g split-string
and it worked.
I faced the same problem . I uninstalled expo-cli and nodejs and installed again. It works for me.

npm command : Cannot find module 'buffer-shims'

I am using MacOS High Sierra(10.13.5).
When I run npm command, e.g. npm -v, I constantly get this error:
module.js:471
throw err;

I tried the following solution, which I found after googling:
rm -r node_modules; rm package-lock.json; npm install
I succeeded at removing the node_modules folder, but I can't find a package-lock.json file and I still get the same error.
How do I resolve the npm error I am encountering?
No idea if this is still necessary, but for future reference: I encountered the same problem and was able to fix it.
What I did was just reinstall nodejs (11.1.0 at the time of writing) and then all npm commands were working again. I think for some odd reason the nodejs/npm install got fubar and kept on throwing the aforementioned errors.

seems I am missing some package. Not sure how to find it. Please Help.
The issue I was facing because of old packages referenced inside other Modules were not updated
As suggested by #loganfsmyth in comment. I updated node & npm. Still issue exists since old packages were not updated inside the hierarchy.
Resolution is to delete old folders using rimraf and then npm install with new node & npm :
npm install rimraf -g
rimraf node_modules
npm install
