NPM not working (Cannot find module 'internal/fs' - nodejs)

Question

NPM error on update. I recently update to Node version 7.x. Now npm is not working.

I am unable to locate the error, it may be due to -
npm ERR! Ca

Answer 1

You should be able to remove the npm directory (typically /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm) and then reinstall one of the official node tarballs, which includes npm (you can find the latest from http://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v7.x/).

Did you upgrade from an older version of node?

If so, that is probably part of the reason why you are having this issue. Older versions of graceful-fs (a dependency of npm) did things that are no longer available in node v7.
