Answer 1

" If you are on windows env, I fixed it by running the cmd as administrator "

• This worked for me. However, chromedriver was not installed. So, i installed it separately using the command 'npm install chromedriver'.

Answer 2

I resolved this with the command: npm cache verify which output:

Cache verified and compressed (C:\Programs\DCPS\npm-cache\_cacache):
Content verified: 1344 (164824963 bytes)
Content garbage-collected: 1 (3491551 bytes)
Index entries: 1522
Finished in 8.187s

The line that stands out to me is: Content garbage-collected: 1 (3491551 bytes)

Does this sort of thing happen because a new version of a package is published to npmjs without a version bump?

Well I could not resolve this problem with a lot of tries so I made the download of the github ZIP, unzip and install and it worked !

download material-design-icons from github
unzip to the directory of your project (or c:\tmp) 
npm install  ./material-design-icons

or

npm install  c:/tmp/material-design-icons

Finally, I got this fixed by:

• Removing node_modules folder
• Running npm update
• Running npm install

As far I understand, the npm update should have updated the package.json file, but all dependencies kept the same versions as we had it before.

Answer 5

You need to confirm whether the Typescript is installed and after installing typescript it worked for me

running the below comment will show the typescript version

tsc -v

If it shows some error install the typescript

npm install -g typescript

If then typescript is installed you can try checking the Angular Cli version

ng --version

If it shows some error then install Angular Cli Ref: https://cli.angular.io/

npm install -g @angular/cli

No need to run npm update (I didn't want to update any packages) or delete the entire node_modules folder. I solved this by

1. deleting package-lock.json
2. deleting node_modules\material-design-icons-xxxxxxx
3. running npm install again
