Hello i'm working on WSL and to run my vue project i need vue 2.9.0
and vue -V shows vue 2.9.6
I'v tried comand npm uninstall #vue/cli and npm uninstall -g #vue/cli
but vue -V still shows vue 2.9.6
Please help
Did you try to clear the cache?
The following should work:
npm uninstall -g #vue/cli
npm clear cache --force
If you are using the older version of vue cli (1.x or 2.x) like you are, then you can uninstall it like this.
npm uninstall -g vue-cli
I don't know whats's wrong with my system I am trying to setup expo-cli with yarn global add expo-cli the expo init projectname doesn't work and its getting me same problem when I am trying to install with sudo npm install expo-cli --global?
This is the problem with yarn https://i.stack.imgur.com/q518S.png

This is the problem with npm https://i.stack.imgur.com/ojF0h.png
yarn install worked but directory where yarn puts executables for packages is not added to your PATH. If you add it there it should work.
If you want to go with npm, I would strongly recommend to never run npm install with sudo. Use tools like nvm or volta. It will install node, npm and all other packages in your home directory, it should solve all issues with permissions without giving access to your entire system.

Try avoiding the global npm install with npx expo-cli
Alternatively, try sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm expo-cli to install the package globally through root. This seems to be a common error with Ubuntu, more information can be found here: https://github.com/expo/expo-cli/issues/591
I am trying to upgrade expo-cli from 2.11 to 2.18 but npm i -g expo-cli#latest still points to the old version.
when I typed expo-cli -V it resulted:
2.11 ...so naturally npm i -g expo-cli#latest will grab the latest version and install it but still expo-cli -v is still pointing to the old version.
I remember installing packages in bash level is a no go operation.
these are some images to put it all into context:
Update: Removed Nodes modules as suggested in the first answer, and that lead to npm removal both expo and expo-cli are not found with the command where
For mac users (linux should be very similar):
Find your expo-cli version:
which expo-cli
For me it yielded:
/Users/username/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/.bin/expo-cli
Remove this outdated version:
rm -rf /Users/username/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/.bin/expo-cli
Check that you are using the latest version:
expo-cli --version
Updating expo-cli globally can be a right pain. To those experiencing this frustration, use yarn
yarn global add expo-cli
it will give you far fewer headaches
On MacOS (Linux should be very similar):
Find the location of the expo-cli version:
which expo-cli
You would probably get:
/usr/local/bin/expo-cli
Remove this outdated version by using:
rm -rf /usr/local/bin/expo-cli
Then install the latest version:
npm install -g expo-cli
After that, check that you are using the latest version:
expo-cli --version
If you're like me, and none of this stuff worked, maybe my solution will help.
My problem is that I switched from NPM, to Yarn at some point, and I had global packages in both systems, which was giving me a bunch of trouble.
Step 1: Make sure you don't have expo-cli in global npm
npm list-g
Step 2: If it is in global npm, uninstall it
npm uninstall --global expo-cli
Step 3: Install it fresh with yarn
yarn global add expo-cli
Step 4: Stop using npm for global packages (or at least, only use one system)
edit: spelling
If you are using a Mac, these 2 commands will do the tricks
1)which expo to locate expo in your Mac which will give you this "/usr/local/bin/expo"
2) "cd /usr/local/bin/"
3)-rm expo
4)-rm expo-cli
the hole system was behaving oddly!, npm should've been installed with node but it was nowhere to be found.
I had to remove node and reinstall it again, then I had to install expo-cli again and all errors went away.
When npm does not work in an easy way, --force it!
npm install -g expo-cli --force
Update to the latest version of Expo CLI:
npm i -g expo-cli. expo-cli#4.7.2 or greater is required.
Update to the latest version of EAS CLI if you use it:
npm i -g eas-cli.
Run expo upgrade in your project directory.
Reference: https://docs.expo.dev/workflow/upgrading-expo-sdk-walkthrough/
there is more than a reason for not updating the expo-cli.
reason 1 - you maybe installed expo-cli using yarn and after a while you need to update and using npm npm install -g expo-cli it will update but maybe when you run expo its point to that yarn version so to resolve this you need to run yarn global remove expo-cli.
reason 2 - it might you have two versions of expo-cli one its global version and one inside your project folder/path, so even you upgrade expo-cli globally, your project still point to the first class version which is in your project folder. to resolve this you need to uninstall expo-cli which exists in your project folder to point to the global version and you can do this using this command npm uninstall expo-cli notice without -g.
reson 3 - sometimes you need to clean npm cache. if nothing works for you above try to uninstall expo-cli using npm uninstall -g expo-cli and then run this command npm cache clean --force then install expo-cli again npm install -g expo-cli.
expo-cli --version
npm uninstall expo-cli
npm install -g expo-cli
expo-cli --version
if cannot, you can update manually
check path
npm bin -g
change "node_modules" folder or remove
C:\Users{username}.npm-global\node_modules
npm install -g expo-cli
copy\past expo-cli folder
from C:\Users{username}.npm-global\node_modules\expo-cli
to C:\Users{username}\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\expo-cli
expo-cli --version
when I run the command npm install -g vue-cli I get the following warning, apparently I have no errors
but when executing
vue init webpack my-project
or
vue --version
this pops up
As the docs say vue-cli is the old package name
Warning regarding Previous Versions
The package name changed from vue-cli to #vue/cli. If you have the previous vue-cli (1.x or 2.x) package installed globally, you need to uninstall it first with npm uninstall vue-cli -g or yarn global remove vue-cli.
cf: https://cli.vuejs.org/guide/installation.html
As manu said try using npm install -g #vue/cli
use command : sudo npm install -g #vue/cli
as the error is because of permission
The error seems to be cause by permission, you could run powershell with admin then run the command npm i -g #vue/cli
I have the following package installed globally via npm:
+-- gulp-cli#2.0.1 (github:gulpjs/gulp-cli#4782b9a582ce7cc7e009073705a565b57d235332)
I have tried to uninstall it like so...
npm uninstall gulp-cli#2.0.1
But it does not remove it. How can I get this package removed from my global location?
I'm on npm version 6.1.0
Thanks to R. Wanjohi I figured it out for my machine. I had to do the following to get the global version of gulp cli off my machine:
npm rm -g gulp-cli
I was experiencing the same problem but when I used the following code, it worked:
npm rm -g gulp
You need to uninstall it globally (add the -g tag)
npm uninstall -g gulp-cli#2.0.1
Here is the npm docs: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/uninstall.html
it's pretty simple, to uninstall a global package run
npm uninstall -g <package-name>
to verify run
npm ls -g --depth=0
