Can't install "react native cli" globally by using git bash - react-native

When I type in "npm install -g react-native-cli" at git bash I get following errors:
npm ERR! cb() never called!
npm ERR! This is an error with npm itself. Please report this error at: npm ERR! https://github.com/npm/npm/issues
npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in: npm ERR! C:\Users\TOSHIBA İ5\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache_logs\2017-10-19T04_04_05_774Z-debug.log
I have already installed npm and added it's directory to PATH variable and when i type "which npm" at git bash it shows the directory so there is no problem about the installation of npm. But it still gives these errors and I am stuck.
Note: I am following the instructions on https://shift.infinite.red/getting-started-with-react-native-development-on-windows-90d85a72ae65


This could happen in some npm old versions. Make sure you are using an updated one.
npm install -g npm
Some linux distros have old versions of npm and node on their packages and you need to install it manually.
Edit: I just saw you have windows. Nevermind, still the old version could be a problem.

npm ERR! code ENOLOCAL while running npm install

I am facing the error below, I tried clear the cache and install npm latest but all are no use to me, may I know is there any way to resolve it?
> npm install
npm ERR! code ENOLOCAL
npm ERR! Could not install from "node_modules\tui-editor\squire-rte#github:seonim-ryu\Squire#fd40b4e3020845825701e9689f190bab3f4775d4" as it does not contain a package.json file.

you should try to delete node modules folder repeatedly and reinstall packages by npm install command
npm cache clean try this command after deleted node modules

Whenever I run npm install in my terminal, I get "cb() never called"

When we install a node packages from package.json file and package-lock.json file is corrupted due to some reasons like node.js version is updated to the latest, we will see an error like this in our terminal.
To fix this error, first delete the package-lock.json file and run the following command.
npm cache clean --force
Now, try to install your packages using the npm install command.

npm install host key verification failed

I ran npm install in angular2+ project directory and got below error which I cannot understand at all.

I have created ssh key on bitbucket and account and saved it on drive. |
I have clone project from bitbucket.
What does this error has to do with that?
As I am new on project so don't have much knowledge.
Do I need to provide ssh key while npm install as well?
Please let me know if I can provide more info related to question.
Thanks!

Please check the npm version that you are using. Npm comes bundled with node and you shouldn't have multiple instances on your classpath.
Hey yup, I thought as much, but seeing as I had updated npm to the
latest version ( I even uninstalled node and reinstalled ) with the
same result. npm -v still showed the same version - 1.4.9.
FYI for others that may have the same issue. I also have Chocolatey
installed, and it seems that npm was also installed via Chocolately
which seems to overide the npm path. Uninstalling npm from Chocolately
resolved the npm version issue.
After that angular/cli installs correctly from npm.

trouble installing an npm package

I'm trying to install react-navigation in a react-native app I'm working on and I keep getting this error....
Standard error:
npm ERR! code 128
npm ERR! Command failed: C:\John\Applications\cygwin\bin\git.EXE clone -q git://github.com/react-navigation/react-native-tab-view.git C:\Users\John\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache\_cacache\tmp\git-clone-e11f65d1 --config core.longpaths=true

npm ERR!
I have no problem with other packages, and I have git and it works. I have npm and it works.
So far I've manually deleted cpm cache from C:\Users\John\AppData\Roaming\npm_cache. Ran npm i -g npm Deleted package-lock.json
But nothing is working. Any ideas?

Figured it out. For my case at least I have git installed via cygwin and have cygwin in my path. I guess for some reason this package doesn't like that?
But I uninstalled git from cygwin and then installed it the 'normal' way and then it worked.

for some reason node -v outputs nothing in terminal
I have the latest node installed:

node is already the newest version.

The solution at this link has worked for me:
http://plaidzooks.tumblr.com/post/36894116867/using-node-js-on-debian-ubuntu-systems
Ubuntu comes with a package that automatically creates a link so the command 'nodejs' can be invoked as 'node' only by creating a link.
sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy
And that got Yeoman working.

Likewise I had this same problem (albeit on a Mac). I uninstalled and upgraded node to the latest version (v0.10.24) but without success.
The symlink fix did work for me, although with a slight tweak:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/node /usr/bin/node

I believe this may be due to the way which node was installed on your system. Apparently, sometimes when installing Node via a package manager, the linked binary is nodejs, (thus nodejs _command_ is the command that works on your machine, not the much more common node _comamand_. You can either re-install Node (the latest version is now 0.10.24) from nodejs.org, or try this solution from this related issue:
For anyone wishing to still use their OS's package of node the simple solution for this is to determine where node is installed on your OS and then create a symbolic link.
For example I had the issue on ubuntu and the install directory is /usr/bin. To create the symlink you can run:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node
in windows you can use the mklink command.. Be sure to open the command prompt as a administrator

You have to install nodejs in this way:
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs

I had this same error on a clean Ubuntu 13.10 install and no amount of sym linking (node > nodejs) or installing/uninstalling helped me.
I don't have a deep enough understanding of the node environment to troubleshoot it properly but I was able to install Yeoman globally by cloning the repo and removing the postinstall check from package.json.
If anyone else want's to try this solution:
Clone Yeoman..
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/yeoman/yo
Edit the package.json..
nano yo/package.json
.. to remove these lines..
"scripts": {
"test": "grunt",
"postinstall": "node ./scripts/doctor",
"postupdate": "node ./scripts/doctor"
},
Then, install it using npm..
cd yo
npm install -g
If you want to clean up you can remove the Yeoman repo..
cd ..
rm -R yo/
Obviously your mileage may vary but it's working fine for me so far.
I also noticed I was able to successfully run the doctor.js script independent of the installation process. No idea why it was failing so hard in the first place..

On Ubuntu 14.04, I tried both installing the legacy package (per Antonio's answer) and creating the symlink manually (per Stephen's answer). Neither worked. The Ubuntu package has version 0.10.25 of node.js, but Yeoman seems to require a newer version.
After installing the latest version of node.js from NodeSource (currently v6.9.1), I was able to install Yeoman using npm install -g yo .

To solve this problem you need to install the package nodejs-legacy.
sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy
