npm error installing serialport - npm

I'm trying to use node.js serialport package but it give some errors that I don't understand.
To simplify, I start form a clear directory 'test' and I create a new app:
sudo npm init
Then I try to install serialport:
sudo npm install serialport --save
but I've got this error:
serialport#5.0.0 install /*********/test/node_modules/serialport
node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build
env: node: No such file or directory
npm WARN test#1.0.0 No description

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:

I've tryed with other versions, clear npm cache, and other strange things, but I don't get any solution.
Versions:
OSX 10.8.5
node -v: v8.4.0
Thanks!

Ok.
I've resolved it with this order to install:
sudo npm install serialport --unsafe-perm --build-from-source
as the serialport web page says:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/serialport
Thanks for all!

unable to run npm start or npm install in Ubuntu 18.04

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:

It says This is most likely not a problem with npm itself. How to proceed then?
The linux kernel version also appears:
npm ERR! Linux 5.4.0-67-generic
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.

Why I'm seeing this when I do npm install

After running npm I'm seeing this error. How do I resolve it?

I ran:

but it didn't help.
Run this command:
npm config set puppeteer_skip_chromium_download true -g
And then try to install again
PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD=true npm install puppeteer

ElectronJs: Not able to install "install.js:22 throw err"

I am starting with Electron js and I have stumbled on the very first step which is installed Electron.
I am running the following command to install electron provided at

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.

yodoctor: command not found when installing yo from terminal

Below is the error I keep getting. It seems to indicate a "post-install" issue with yodoctor. Sadly yodoctor is the advice given by the yeoman team to help with this issue. I have other node_modules installed (bower, grunt, typescript).
sh: yodoctor: command not found

This error is generally caused because someone used sudo at some point and messed up their npm package directory permissions. As a rule of thumb, never ever use sudo.
So how can you fix it? Here's a couple troubleshooting points:
Make sure you update npm to the latest version (npm install -g npm). npm 2.x had some race conditions that would try to run yodoctor before it is installed.
Make sure the global npm module folders is chown/chmod to your user.
Make sure npm module binaries is in your PATH.
If nothing works, then you can force install it by running npm i -g yeoman-doctor && npm i -g yo - but that really is a last recourse solution.
Just the following command would do the trick:
sudo npm install -g yo
if not, find where yo is, add it to the path as follows:
export PATH="$PATH:<path where yo is installed>"

npm intstall: binding.node is missing

I tried to install npm on my local machine (Mac OS) but when I run npm start, it keeps giving me this error with node_sass. Even when I run
sudo npm install node_sass
it doesn't fix the problem.

Looked around and these people are experiencing a similar error due to binding.node missing from SASS.
