I've already installed Node.js in my machine. When I try npm install, the installation does not properly work for me. I get the following on my console:
Installed node version 14.15.1
Installed npm version 6.14.8
Installed angular cli version 11.2.3
And then some errors pop up. Here's a screenshot of my console:
Any of the following methods might be useful for you:
Method 1: Clean cache & then perform an installation
npm cache clean --force
npm install
Method 2: Exclude package-lock.json file and perform an installation
npm install --no-package-lock
Method 3: Manually delete node_modules and package-lock.json file and then perform an installation
npm install
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Remove this outdated version: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Remove this outdated version by using: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
I'm getting the following error when I try to install Yeoman on Ubuntu using npm install -g yo:
Despite having the latest version 2.0.3 installed, I'm getting this issue. Any suggestions?
uninstall node js.
Remove npm and npm cache file from \AppData\Roaming
I am getting issue in my Ubuntu regarding reinstalling of angular.
my current version:
Angular 1.7.3
Node: 8.11.1
OS: Linux
Angular: 4.4.4
I want to reinstall from angular 1.7.3 to angular 1.6.8
Please help..
Correct command now is this:
npm uninstall -g angular-cli
npm cache clean --force
npm install #angular/cli#1.6.8
The key here is first # before angular and angular/cli not angular-cli.
You can uninstall the current version of angular cli- 1.7.3 and install 1.6.8
npm uninstall -g angular-cli
npm cache clean
npm install -g angular-cli#1.6.8
By default node 4.4.7 comes with npm 2.15.8 version.
How can I modify npm version to 3.8.9 with same node version?
npm update #npm3.8.9 or upgrade didn't do.
Try like this
npm install npm#3.8.9
If you want to install latest version of npm
npm install npm#latest
here latest is the keyword
We can also upgrade node via npm
sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable
The n package represents a Node helper, and running the last command upgrades node to the latest stable version. Instead of using "stable", you could specify a desired version:
To upgrade, run: [sudo] npm install npm#latest -g if you don't want the latest provide the version number there
