Answer 1

On Arch Linux what did the trick for me was:

sudo pacman -Rs npm
sudo pacman -S npm

Answer 2

I had the same issue but it was caused by a broken package-lock.json file.

Deleting package-lock.json and running npm install again fixed it for me.

Answer 3

For Mac users, I tried installing a bunch of new node versions and uninstalling different ones. That didn't fix it. You have to completely wipe out all your installations first. Follow these instructions... How do I completely uninstall Node.js, and reinstall from beginning (Mac OS X).

Then download the latest version of node.

Answer 4

On MS Windows, the solution is to remove %APPDATA%\npm and reinstall node

Answer 5

Actually, it is taking the reference of previously stored modules.

Solution:Delete the npm-cache/npm folder in the installation directory of nodejs. In windows, it is in C:/User/Username/Appdata/Roaming/npm(or npm_cache). and try to install again.

Same thing to do in any OS.

Answer 6

In my case, simply re-running brew install yarn fixed the problem.
