Has anyone been able to successfully install node-calls-python package on their Mac M1. When I try to npm install I get the following error:

I've tried the recommend installation provided on the npm package page and did not work.
https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-calls-python
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm building a project in create-react-app, and tried to install react-router-dom. The installation however failed and I got the following error:
npm ERR! Cannot read property 'match' of undefined
Similar questions have been asked and the most common solution posted has to been to delete the package-lock.json file, but this seems dangerous to me - does anyone have any other solutions? Also why am I even getting this error in the first place?
Here's the more detailed logs from the error:

the match parameter in react-router-dom is a get parameter in the URL.
So, if you have a url:
http://www.example.com/route?id=foo
then match.params.id is "foo".
You pass in the match parameter into your functional react component to access it.
e.g.
import React from 'react'
const MyComponent = ({match}) => {
return(<div>
The id is: {match.params.id}
</div>)
}
export default MyComponent
The documentation: https://reactrouter.com/web/api/match
Problem
I can't seem to install and packages using npm. It seems to be a DNS query issue. Has anyone found a way to fix this?

Maybe this is somehow related to this issue described in the balena forum:
the mentioned exception comes probably from the dns.js in node and may be a result from a "mysterious" variable intialization:
family = options.family >>> 0;
It looks like that an undefined value for family gets evaluated to "4294967295" instead of "0" while using QEMU.
If you have access to the code for the underlying call (at net.js:1004:5), maybe you can do a similiar workaround and add a fixed value for this family-parameter to the "lookup" function call.
I have an Artifactory NPM repo named product_release_npm, with anonymous access disabled.
At the project level, I have an .npmrc file with the following content :
#luciad:registry=https://[DOMAIN]/artifactory/api/npm/product_release_npm/
At the user level, I have an .npmrc file with the following content :
//[DOMAIN]/artifactory/api/npm/product_thirdparty_npm/:_authToken=[AUTH_TOKEN]
//[DOMAIN]/artifactory/api/npm/product_release_npm/:_authToken=[AUTH_TOKEN]
My project's package.json file looks like this :
{
"dependencies": {
"#luciad/ria-core": "^2019.0"
}
}
If I do an npm install with NPM 4.2.0 or lower, I'm able to install this repo succesfully.
If I try the same thing with NPM 5.0.0 or higher, I'm unable to install this repo and get a 404 error.
In some versions of NPM, I'm also getting a 403 error.

I am getting a 404 error when trying to link a local module with npm following the docs
Inside the local module directory seems like it creates a global link correctly:
$ npm link
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/my-module-name -> /Users/XXX/my-module-directory/my-module-name
But when just after that I try to link this from other project directory i get an 404 error:
$ npm link my-module-name

You're using an NVM-installed version of Node.js to run npm link my-module-name, but you didn't run npm link (in your module's directory) using that same version.
The initial link is created in /usr/local/lib/node_modules, but when you use NVM, each Node.js version gets their own "lib" directory, in your example /Users/XXX/.nvm/versions/node/v8.2.1/lib/node_modules, which is a different directory.

I've tried running them with root user as well.
The problem might come from using a beta version of web3 it's not stable at the moment and currently is under heavy development you have one of two options,
either use a stable version 0.19 I think or something like that.
Another thing I would suggest trying is npm --save in order to save the package locally in the project
