I run : npm run dev
Error : npm is known not to run on Node.js v10.24.1
I have researched and know the command: npm install -g npm#latest and some other commands to fix the problem
But the problem is that my project is using nodejs 10 so it can't use the latest nodejs. So is there any way to fix the above error. Thank you
UPDATE :
I use nvm to install and manage versions of nodejs. And my OS is macOs
The problem for me was upgrading my global version of npm while on an incompatible version of Node (8.16.1).
I tried to uninstall npm globally but that also didn't work because I could not use the npm command.
To fix it, I used nvm to switch to a compatible version of Node (nvm use 14.0.0 - this can be any version of Node compatible with the npm version you have installed globally). This allowed me to run npm commands so I ran npm uninstall -g npm first of all to remove my global version of npm and then nvm uninstall 8.16.1 to remove my faulty Node version.
I was then able to reinstall Node 8.16.1 (nvm install 8.16.1), and with it came a fresh install of a compatible npm version.
I happen to work on a project that builds on node 10 as well.
More details would have been helpful to understand the problem better but I suspect it's a compatibility issue.
Try these:
Download and install the latest version of nodejs.
Open you terminal and verify you have the latest version using node -v. Verify your npm version too using npm -v.
Since you have nvm installed, run nvm install 10, then nvm use 10.
Verify your versions again. In my case, node is v10.24.1 & npm is 6.14.12.
Start your app using npm run dev. Please check you package.json to be sure you are using the right startup command.
I was having the same problem, I ran the command and it solved the problem with NPM
sudo n latest
Node: v10.19.0
NPM: 8.9.0
Reference
I performed an upgrade of npm by mistake and run into the same issue.
The only way to solve for me was to delete the two following directories:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\npm
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache
npm is known not to run on Node.js v10.24.1 comes when normally people upgrade the version of npm to latest or recent ones, but when it comes to node 10 version you can use npm version 6.4.1 or 6 series. Normally npm 6.4.1 will come with node js 10.24.1 but if you have given any npm update cmd you need to go to C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming and delete npm and npm cache folders then delete npm folders in C:\Users\username\AppData\local then check the npm version using npm -v. After doing this install the angular version
Thanks #Oduola Olumide Sunday for the response. I have followed your way but still not solved the problem.
And I fix it by removing the latest nodejs version and using the normal node v10.24.1

I removed the latest nodejs version with this
This error happens when your npm version is not what you think it is...
For instance, you download a nodejs pkg and install. Run node -v, npm -v... npm -v provides the error that brought you here.
This means your aren't using the version the nodejs pkg installed, but some remnant somewhere- from other install attempts.
In my case, I had a Homebrew installed version of npm that I didn't realize existed.
You can find the locations, at least on mac, using the 'where' command.
where npm
Which will return path(s) of your npm locations. Find the one that doesn't belong and give it the boot.
Then your npm -v will return the expected version number output.
Now you can execute npm commands.
I had the same problem.
I was using node 12 with nvm
Then, I switched to node 16, uninstalled the version 12 with nvm uninstall 12 and then I installed it again with nvm install 12 and it is working fine
For nvm used under macOS, I solve this issue in this way
First, run nvm ls-remote to get the latest version of v10
-> v10.24.1 (Latest LTS: Dubnium)
Then install the latest version of v10 through
nvm install 10.24.1 --latest-npm
In case anyone here needs to install an npm version (7.24.2) that does support node 10, rather than upgrade node.
Here is what I did:
url=`(curl -qSsL https://registry.npmjs.org/npm/7.24.2; echo "") | sed -e 's/^.*tarball":"//' | sed -e 's/".*$//'`
curl -qSsL -o npm.tgz "$url"
bin/npm-cli.js install -gf ../npm.tgz # in case npm is not installed where "which npm" points to, you might need to add --prefix=$(which npm | sed 's/\/bin\/npm//')
The reference is the installation script of 7.24.2 https://github.com/npm/cli/blob/v7.24.2/scripts/install.sh
In my case I had put ^ in one of the package version in my package.json. Which takes latest version of that library and it was not compatible to older npm version which caused me this error.
Remove all ^ from package versions and try again.
your nodejs version should come with its own npm that it supports.so if your machine has issues finding the npm version go to cdrive C:\Users\Machine name\AppData\Roaming
delete npm and npm cache folders.
Try below command
brew install node
then
npm install
None of the tips I found here helped.
I had to reinstall nvm.
I am getting this error
npm ERR! cb.apply is not a function
in Linux while doing npm install although my npm version is 6.9.0. My node version is v12.18.3. How to resolve this issue?
Would be helpful if you shared if it's Windows or Linux, but the error seems to occur on Windows. Possible solution:
1. Go to C:\Users(your username)\AppData\Roaming
2. Delete the npm folder (possibly back it up) and if there is one npm cache folder.
3. Run `npm cache clear --force` (--force is now required to clean cache)
After that, npm install should work fine.
Mac/Macbook users
Since this question is fairly active and a top google result for this issue (I know the OP is using Linux), here is how to fix it on a Mac.
On a Mac you do not have the AppData\Roaming folder, so simply run npm root -g and then navigate to the hidden directory and delete the node_modules there. If using nvm you'll need to rerun nvm use x.x.x (where x.x.x is your version).
Solution for Windows:
In my case I didn't want to delete all the npm directory inside C:/users/me/AppData/Roaming/ because I had many global modules that already existed and installed.
What worked was inspired by #user14360499's answer:
go inside C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules
delete the npm dir
npm install my project, and keep working as usually
Solution for ubuntu 18.04:
sudo apt-get remove nodejs
sudo apt-get remove npm
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/node
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/npm
sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo apt-get install npm
Then try node and npm version:
node -v
npm -v
If it says there is no such node/npm after you already install, then:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/node /usr/local/bin/node
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/npm /usr/local/bin/npm
Try this if the command works:
npm -v
node -v
In case when you want to update npm/node stable version:
sudo npm install n -g
sudo n stable
I had the same issue with Nodist. After changing my Node version, my npm version was actually incompatible with it. So if you're using Nodist, make sure to run nodist npm {scope} match after switching Node versions, where scope is either global, local or env.
For me, on Centos 7, it was about removing graceful-ts used locally by npx. First, I've had to open log file which was mentioned in the error message:
npm ERR! cb.apply is not a function
npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR! /root/.npm/_logs/2022-04-04T07_45_27_182Z-debug.log
In that log file there was this path:
verbose stack at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npx/node_modules/npm/node_modules/graceful-fs/polyfills.js:287:18
So I removed whole graceful-fs directory and ran npx again. Everything worked.
rm -fR /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npx/node_modules/npm/node_modules/graceful-fs
Had the same error (macOS Big Sur) when i tried to use npx.
How i fixed it (using nvm)
when i run:
nvm ls
nvm ls output
Fix:
nvm alias default node
nvm install 'lts/*'
nvm install output
Ciao, this problem could be connected to graceful-fs package. You could try to reinstall it:
npm install graceful-fs --save-dev
In my case it was indeed the graceful-fs package. Running
npm i -g --force graceful-fs
fixed the issue. I also ran nodist npm {scope} match before but I'm unsure if it was neccessary.
Solution for Ubuntu 18.04=>
Visit 'usr/lib/node_modules'.
Delete 'n', 'npm','npm-clean','npm-install-peers'. That means delete all the node & npm related folders.
Install the npm again.
I have tried a lot of solutions from different posts and google pages and nothing worked for me.
I ended up cleaning all traces of node, nodejs, and npm. May need some manual force remove after the purge call. And then installed using nvm.
https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-node-js-on-ubuntu-20-04/#installing-nodejs-and-npm-using-nvm
And it resolved the issue for me. It got the nodejs v 15.4.0 and the compatible version of npm 7.0.15 ( before using apt-get it was installing npm 6.9.0)
On macOS BigSur, I had this problem when executing:
npx install-peerdeps --dev eslint-config-airbnb
To fix, I ran
brew update
after which I was prompted to run
brew upgrade
Running the two commands fixed the issue.
I had this problem while trying to run npx.
I found that nvm had been removed from the PATH.
I added it back to my .zshrc file and it worked.
In my case (Mac) it was because I had npx installed alongside n (alternative to nvm).
$ which npx
/usr/local/bin/npx
I removed this exectutable and now:
$ which npx
/Users/MY_USER/n/bin/npx
and it works now.
I was getting this error when running npx sb init. For some reason, the command worked localy but not in CI. I tried most of the solutions from here. But only the following worked.
I replaced npx sb init with yarn global add #storybook/cli && yarn exec sb init as suggested here: https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/issues/3937#issuecomment-751289438
(NVM, Node.js 14, Yarn 1)
if you are also getting this error:
1 warn npm npm does not support Node.js v16.2.0
that means that your npm version is not correct.
reinstall npm, try again.
It works for me.
Feb 2021 fix:
npm install
And then commit the changes to package-lock.json. That should update all your dependencies, thus fixing this issue.
More info: https://help.heroku.com/ZV7S7D6T/why-is-my-node-build-is-suddenly-displaying-npm-err-cb-apply-is-not-a-function (this happened to me on heroku)
For linux users:
uninstall NPM, to do it go to /usr/local/lib/node_modules and do:
sudo rm -r n npm npx
Once uninstalled, re-instal it:
npm install
Even after doing this, in a specific project when trying to install a specific npm package, you may get the following error:
bash: /usr/local/bin/npm: No such file or directory
If so, in the terminal just run:
hash -r
Now you can retry installation of your wanted npm package.
For me , the solution was to delete the node modules and bower components folder of the project.
for the mac OS remove the node version and reinstalling was work for me. I used n npm version manager.
On windows, using nvm, i just installed a newer nodejs version (before 14.17.0, now 14.18.2)
So many solutions just made me even more puzzled. I downloaded and installed the newest LTS NodeJS and it worked just fine.
https://nodejs.org/en/
I'm on a Mac, and had exactly the same issue. Deleting the node modules seemed a little overkill for me, so I ran npm update and it solved the issue! Please note I did not yet have any package.json or any modules on the repo I was working in.
Windows 10:
When calling npx create-react-app my-app, i got following error:
npm ERR! cb.apply is not a function
To fix it, i did the following:
Go to the folder you want to create the app in.
npm install create-react-app --save-dev
npx create-react-app my-app
The problem has occured when the node and npm packages are not latest.
For me the problem is resolved when I completely removed npm and node, and made a clean installation.
I am using ubuntu 22 lts
to remove node and npm completely I have followed this answer
Had this issue when creating a new react app using create-react-app.
I was using nvm, so I just updated it to the latest LTS version:
nvm install --lts
then switched to the newly installed lts version:
nvm use --lts
closed and reopened the terminal, reran create-react-app and the error was fixed!
Solution for ubuntu =>
Completely remove nodejs and npm from your system.
sudo apt-get remove nodejs
sudo apt-get remove npm
Install node from this reference (https://computingforgeeks.com/install-node-js-14-on-ubuntu-debian-linux/) - This will inturn install latest npm .
Had the same error was simply in the wrong folder -.- (not a typescript project)
I'm trying to install Hexo globally using npm. When I run
npm install -g hexo-cli
I'm informed that it was installed to /Users/myusername/.node/bin/hexo -> /Users/myusername/.node/lib/node_modules/hexo-cli/bin/hexo
The problem comes in when I run hexo init blog and the hexo command is not found.
I installed Node and npm with Homebrew, so when I run which node and which npm, the results are /usr/local/bin/node and /usr/local/bin/npm respectively.
I'm thinking that I still have leftover files and directories from when I installed Node without homebrew, but I don't want to start deleting things without fully knowing the repercussions. Would I be safe to delete all files located in the /Users/myusername/.node/ directory? I can't figure out why npm is not installing to the proper directory.
After a little digging, I found that my npm prefix variable was pointing do the wrong directory, left behind by the old Node installation. I ran npm config get prefix to see where it was pointing.
I set the new prefix value using npm config set prefix /usr/local. Homebrew is symlinked with this directory via /usr/local/bin. I uninstalled hexo-cli and reinstalled through npm, and now it works perfectly.
For NVM users
Run nvm use --delete-prefix v10.13.0 --silent replacing v10.13.0 with whatever version of node you're using.
A simple way to cope with environment variables/path problems on Windows:
Run command:
npm install -g hexo
Using node.js command prompt rather than cmd windows provided by Windows itself.
I am having a very hard time getting the npm command to work, and unfortunately my knowledge of unix isn't good enough to solve this on my own. All I've done is brew install node, and I get the following errors:
When I type npm I get zsh: command not found: npm
Looking into this issue more I found this stack overflow answer:
Command not found after npm install in zsh
Following its advice I tried adding export PATH=/usr/local/share/npm/bin:$PATH to my .zshrc file. Still get the same error when typing npm
I can confirm it is in the path echo $PATH yields /Users/nicholashaley/.rbenv/shims:/Users/nicholashaley/.rbenv/bin:/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.3/bin:/usr/local/heroku/bin:/usr/local/share/npm/bin:/usr/local/bin:/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.3/bin:/usr/local/heroku/bin:/Users/nicholashaley/.rbenv/shims:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/X11/bin
I can also confirm that node has been installed node -v yields v0.12.2
Any ideas? I'm stumped
Not an answer, but maybe a solution...
Uninstall Node via brew: brew uninstall node
Then download Node from https://nodejs.org/en/download/ and install.
npm should then "just work".
I came across to this thread with the same problem but finally below is what worked for me which is without sudo
$ brew update
$ brew uninstall node
$ brew install node
$ chown -R YourUserName /usr/local/lib/node_modules/
$ brew postinstall node #This what the important step
Ok this is what worked for me:
$ brew update
$ brew uninstall node
$ brew install node
$ sudo brew postinstall node #This what the important step
In case this never got solved, this is what worked for me:
brew uninstall node
brew install node
brew doctor and see what needs to be pruned. My problem was there was a non-brew place where I had changed my install location for npm packages because I was trying to get an npm package to install for me. That was a mistake (having forgotten I initially installed node and npm through brew but now brew could no longer reach the npm install directory nor could it change or delete it). So brew prune didn't work even though the symlinks were supposedly deleted but it reminded me that I had changed the npm install location. And that brings us to:
Delete those directories
brew postinstall node
Hope it helps.
I found this article helpful with step-by-step details:
https://www.dyclassroom.com/howto-mac/how-to-install-nodejs-and-npm-on-mac-using-homebrew
Additionally, after all the steps in above article, node was working but my machine was still giving "command not found: npm". I then ran the following two commands and npm was working.
sudo chown -R myusername:myusergroup /usr/local/lib/node_modules
brew postinstall node
Anyone on the LTS release use the following command instead:
brew postinstall node#6
Issue Details in Gist and how I fixed it
1. Installed nodeJs via nvm using Git Bash
2. Installed hyper terminal & WSL
3. Installed Ubuntu (windows Store) & configured zsh shell.
4. Faced the command not found all over in the zsh shell
5. The same commands are working nicely in the bash shell
Tried sourcing the (node, nvm, npm ) paths in the .zshrc and .profile file &
modified the System & Environment Variables in Windows. None of these steps helped me to resolve the issue.
I think the issue is zsh and bash terminals treat things differently. When Installed in bash terminal the default location for the nodeJs in windows will be set to
C:\Users\Program Files\nodejs
The above one is symlinked to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\nvm
No matter how much I tried to alias these things in zsh, only node and nvm are working with aliases. npm is failing to locate the necessary lib files.
The only solution that worked for me is Re-installing node in zsh terminal
Removed the node versions installed via nvm in Bash terminal.
Removed the nvm in windows via control Panel
Installed the nvm in the zsh shell
Installed the node latest LTS version from which npm is also installed.
Post Installing the node via nvm in Zsh I observed the following things.
Paths for the node, nvm, npm & npx have been automatically added to the $PATH variable
Node directory is not available neither in C:\Users\Program Files\nodejs
nor the C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\nvm
Instead it is configured differently at /home/<username>/.nvm/versions/node/v14.15.1/bin/node
This video really helped me in re-installing the node in ZSH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kL8iGErULiw
Usually npm should be found in the same directory as that of the node executable, which can be determined by which node. Check if this directory is part of your PATH. If node was installed through a node version managers such as nodenv and nvm, check the documentation for how to add these executables to the path.
With nodenv, this can be done with:
eval "$(nodenv init -)"
I just updated node (through the nodejs.org package installer) and now npm won't work.
npm: command not found
Any idea what's going on?
I was hung up on this too. I installed node via nvm and could not run npm or node. I had to run nvm use 0.10.10
then which node and which npm worked again.
if you have installed npm via nvm you might want to add nvm use <version> to your .bashrc file so that you'll have npm always available on any shell you open. You just need to remember to update it whenever you update npm, or use stable.
It could be a permission issue as well. If so you need to run this: sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local
This worked for me
