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
According to this thread, updating npm
to version 4 will solve your problem, try:
npm i -g npm@4
If this doesn't work, try:
~/.n/n/versions/node/7.0.0/bin/npm i -g npm@4
delete node_modules directory and then type in your console "npm install". For a reason that I dont know, if you only update npm, it does not fix the error, but re-installing npm everything is gonna be allright.
For me, if I facing error "cannot find module internal/fs", it would be refer to command path. Better find the command path:
npm config get prefix
put into system environment path. It is worked for me after facing the error several days.
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.
