When attempting to install Browser-syn [sudo npm install -g browser-sync] on Ubuntu, it gets stuck, the last readout is [loadDep:is-fullwidth-code].
I have been trying various solutions pertaining issues with npm, to no avail.
I made it to work.
I removed nodejs v4.2.6 (that came with Ubuntu 16.04), an old package manager npm was also removed.
I installed nodejs v6.11.5 (that came with npm v3.10.10) following instructions on https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/.
I used npm to install browser-sync [$ sudo npm install -g browser-sync]
as indicated on https://www.browsersync.io/.
It worked this time.

It seems I have a path error, I can see proof the package installed, and I've tried it both globally and local, tried both with and w/o the -cli suffix, but zshell keeps complaining command not found

zsh: command not found: ganache-cli
I might have done something bad, using a sudo rm -rf node_modules command to uninstall the package, was that dangerous to do? I reinstalled it globally and then tried running it again, and then zshell started complaining I wasn't authorized to run ganache. I tried the command sudo ganache, it asked me for password, and then responded again that command not found.
Can someone help me get back on track with my tutorial?
According to Ganache-CLI's instructions, it should be installed with:
npm install ganache-cli -g
I'd recommend installing the latest Ganache version rather than installing Ganache-CLI, though. Ganache-CLI is deprecated. Use
npm uninstall ganache-cli && npm install ganache -g
Ganache v7.0.0 and onward can be used in the CLI as well as programatically.
On another note, I strongly recommend against using sudo when installing anything via npm. This can give untrusted code the ability to run as admin on your system. Definitely a big security risk.
Just a follow up on difficulties I was having, I ended up using yarn to download and run ganache (MINUS the -cli suffix, -cli suffix now deprecated), yarn install ganache --global to install and then yarn ganache to run (no -cli necessary)
Here's how I found the solution for my specific use case. The bug came about when I was attempting to run a brownie deployment script. Run npm uninstall ganache-cli then run yarn global add ganache. Worked like a charm.
I'm seeing an error when attempting to install the latest cypress on my Windows 10 machine. I was using cypress 8.7 just fine. I deleted node_modules and package-lock.json and removed "cypress": "^8.7.0", from package.json.
Now installing cypress (9.1) I see this error:
npm install --save-dev cypress
npm ERR! Error: Cannot find module 'har-validator'
I see the same error when trying to use the old version too
npm install --save-dev cypress#8.7.0
System info from powershell:
node -v
> v16.8.0
npm -v
> 7.21.0
UPDATE:
My friend is able to install with dependency 8.7.0 in package.json, on OSX with nodejs 14.16.0.
This works today (2021-11-26) for me
npm install --save-dev cypress#8.7.0
There is a Bug in #cypress/request.
Take a look at https://github.com/cypress-io/request/pull/15
EDIT: There is a PR from one of the devs. https://github.com/cypress-io/request/pull/16
Looks like Cypress issue with latest versions. we have this problem for v8.7.0 today. "npm install har-validator" manually installed the missing har-validator module, that helped.
I ran npm -v and it listed a version (I can't remember exactly which) something like 0.6.1.
I ran npm install nodejs-latest to try an update my package. It went to version 6.6.0
I unstalled node.js completely, redownloaded and installed from https://nodejs.org/en/
Checked npm -v and it returned 6.5.0
I ran this suggestion from stackoverflow: How can I update npm on Windows?
It lists out the versions available to install and it only goes up to 6.7.0
I'm totally lost. Why can't I get the current version of node.js on this machine?
Npm is the Node Package Manager, when you run "npm -v" it will show you the npm version and the "node -v" will show you Node version.
To update npm version you should run npm install -g npm .
To update the node version you can download it at the NodeJs website.
Or you can this steps to update.
I'm using nvm on my Terminal and successfully installed node 10.2.1, which also installed npm 6.1.0. However, when I go to my VS Code editor, it gives me warnings in the integrated terminal for:
npm WARN npm npm does not support Node.js v10.2.1
npm WARN npm You should probably upgrade to a newer version of node as we
npm WARN npm can't make any promises that npm will work with this version.
npm WARN npm Supported releases of Node.js are the latest release of 4,6, 7, 8, 9.
Turns out, it is actually using npm 5.5.1 (npm -v).
I check to see what's up with that and tried to dig further and eventually used: which npm on both integrated terminal and Mac's CLI.
Mac's Terminal shows:
/Users/Aiz/.nvm/versions/node/v10.2.1/bin/npm
VS Code's Terminal shows:
/usr/local/bin/npm. Which is interesting, because if you do which node in this terminal, it results in the appropriate /Users/Aiz/.nvm/versions/node/v10.2.1/bin/node.
I'm not sure how to get my VS Code terminal to point to the appropriate npm install through nvm. Not sure if it helps, but I checked npm get prefix and npm -g bin to find /Users/Aiz/.nvm/versions/node/v10.2.1. The only difference I'm finding is where each terminal is using npm from.
I ended up looking through VS Code issues on GitHub and came across something relevant to NVM and node issues. It fixed my issue since the underlying cause was the same.
Essentially what happened is that I had a global install of node before that I removed prior to using NVM but hadn't removed my global install of npm. This was causing conflicts in VS Code's terminal (not Mac's terminal). In order to fix this, you essentially have to find the symlink for which npm and remove the node_modules and npm associated recursively.
Here's the link you'll need: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/master/docs/editor/integrated-terminal.md#why-is-nvm-complaining-about-a-prefix-option-when-the-integrated-terminal-is-launched.
Don't forget to restart your editor after.
Another solution is to implement this. https://medium.com/#kinduff/automatic-version-switch-for-nvm-ff9e00ae67f3
Basically, nvm will check for a .nvmrc and switch or default each time you go to a new directory in shell.
It does have a dependency on zsh.
The fix for me on Ubuntu:
A.) sudo apt-get remove nodejs npm
B.) Removed lines in my .bashrc that added the npm package directory to the path.
C.) Restart VS Code.
I doubt step A is necessary. But B and C certainly are.
WARN [config]: config.configure() is deprecated, please use config.set() instead.
WARN [plugin]: Cannot find plugin "karma-phantomjs".
Did you forget to install it ?
npm install karma-phantomjs --save-dev
INFO [karma]: Karma v0.10.2 server started at http://localhost:9018/
WARN [launcher]: Can not load "PhantomJS", it is not registered!
Perhaps you are missing some plugin?
Getting this error. When running npm install karma-phantomjs --save-dev I get an error.
npm ERR! 404 'karma-phantomjs' is not in the npm registry.
I installed karma-phantomjs-launcher --save-dev but i still get an error when running grunt watch.
Anyone else run into this issue?
npm install karma-jasmine --save-dev
npm install karma-phantomjs-launcher --save-dev
Then add the following line to karma.config.js
plugins : ['karma-jasmine', 'karma-phantomjs-launcher']
I got tripped up by this today running
karma: 0.13.7
karma-phantomjs-launcher: 1.0.0
What isn't very obvious is that the launcher has a dependency on:
phantomjs-prebuilt
So if you, install this locally everything should run fine, eg:
npm install phantomjs-prebuilt --save-dev
After some research I realized that I needed to run:
npm install -g karma#canary phantomjs karma-phantomjs-launcher
Once I ran that I went back into my karma-unit.tpl.js file and instead of karma-phantomjs, I changed this to karma-phantomjs-launcher.
Now when I execute a command like grunt build, I get no error regarding phantomJS
This is an issue still open on the repo: #31
Strangely enough the following worked for my Debian based system:
apt-get install libfontconfig
How did I get into this? Reading a comment from the ticket. Hope this will help for others too :-)
I'm running in a CentOS 7 Docker container. Had similar issue.
Had to:
yum install -y tar bzip2 freetype fontconfig
Then
npm install phantomjs --save-dev
worked without errors, which allowed
npm install karma-phantomjs-launcher --save-dev
and that allowed
gulp test
to run without Karma or PhantomJS errors.
Today I had the same. I deleted all the temporary directories and, after rerun it worked.
Before that i also reinstalled phantomjs but without success. It's possible that this influenced, anyway (but i think deleting the temporary directories did the job). Anyway, after deleting temporary folders you can try, if it didn't work you can reinstall phantomjs and also other stuff as other users already wrote.
