I'm new to front-end development and nodejs / react so please bear with me if this is a silly question.
I was trying to learn by using this open project: https://github.com/ilhammeidi/boss-lite
In the readme, it states pretty clearly on how to deploy this react project:
Clone this project
Install module dependencies by run this script in terminal npm install
After finish downloading, then run the app. npm run dev
Navigate to http://localhost:8080
However I cannot get even the first npm install step right on my Ubuntu 18.04:
john#home:~/learnFE/code/boss-lite$ npm install

It says This is most likely not a problem with npm itself. How to proceed then?
The linux kernel version also appears:

I'm clueless right now and it is so frustrating to be failing at the simple and basic step...
Maybe it is because the github project itself is flawed? I guess not.
Probably this is some really basic stuff. Any help?
These errors were simply due to the packages being obsolete for your OS.
Just update them by running,
npm update --force
This will install the latest versions of these packages. This will take a while depending on your internet connection.
Then run npm start and it works.
I am trying to set up a new project using wdio-v7,
firstly I ran npm init -y
then npm install #wdio/cli --save-dev
and after running npx wdio config -y I receive this:

That is weird, looks like npx wdio config -yis trying to install older version of chrome driver service.
Try to manually install chromedriver service or update the version in package.json

Make sure you have the min requirements by webdriverio

I am starting with Electron js and I have stumbled on the very first step which is installed Electron.

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.
I am updated now and running
node v5.0.0
npm v3.3.6

When i run "npm install" on my project now. I get errors like this:

Im not seeing any solutions to this around the web yet? I tried both sudo and not sudo and makes no difference.
Any suggestions?
I had the same problem. Check the registry: npm config list.
Try to run:
npm set registry "https://registry.npmjs.org/"
and then npm i again.
I used sinopia as a registry. Sinopia can't work with scoped packages.
My OS is Ubuntu 13.04, 32 bit.

I am new to NodeJS and NPM, so I don't understand the response.
Does anyone have an idea how I can fix it?
You want to run the latest node (currently 0.10.22). Try these steps to get the newest version:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs -y # newer nodejs package includes npm
And then try again on npm install express.
Update your npm
npm install -g npm
This was a bug in an earlier version of npm: https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/4984
You may get warnings when you update. Run the update one more time and you should see a clean npm install.
While the solution by #Jim worked well, if you feel the need to update NodeJS, you can do so via the n package:
sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable
If you are sitting in corporate network then worth pointing registry to your corporate registry/artifactory and trying.
npm config set registry
