After $npm install, Getting Error: Cannot find module '../lib/utils/unsupported.js'

Question

I just came back to work on a React project after working in the Rails environment and found that I cannot run any NPM commands in my Mac terminal. I\'ve tried all the remedies

Answer 1

In my case, this happened after I performed a machine-wide clean-up of all node_modules folders. I had node installed with nvm and I started getting this error, no matter what node-related action I wanted to trigger:

Error: Cannot find module '../lib/utils/unsupported.js'

I solved it by doing the following:

1. Restarted my computer
2. Uninstalled nvm
3. Installed a different node version

Answer 2

1. Uninstall node brew uninstall --force node
2. Remove the /usr/local/lib/node_modules folder
3. Install it again brew install node

Answer 3

None of the other answered solved my issue. After reinstalling Node, I still got the same error (even when I just wrote npm -v).

I followed this answer here (removing everything called node and npm), which solved it for me.

Answer 4

I'm sorry, but in my case I get the same error, because, my index.js is inside de src folder, make sure that you are in the seme directory of your index.js to run

Answer 5

I had the same error after brew upgradeon mac. I did brew postinstall node and that fixed it.

Answer 6

This happened to me after installing yarn.

in a terminal:

brew uninstall --force --ignore-dependencies node
brew install node

if you have trouble symlinking node, in the same terminal:

sudo chown -R `whoami`:admin /usr/local/include
sudo chown -R `whoami`:admin /usr/local/bin
sudo chown -R `whoami`:admin /usr/local/share
sudo chown -R `whoami`:admin /usr/local/lib
brew link --overwrite node

Check that your re-installation worked by typing the following in the terminal:

node -v
