When I try to install a package globally using npm, it complaints about not being able to create some files. How can I solve this issue? I am on Windows 10
As the error suggests, you might not have the appropriate permissions. Therefore, try to launch the cmd as an administrator, and then run your command.

Global install of typescript doesn't appear to install correctly on windows.
Steps to reproduce:
.Using node v16.16.0 (64bit)
.Then 'npm install -g typescript'
.I can confirm environment path variables contain:
'C:\Users{MyUserName}\AppData\Roaming\npm' and
'C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules'
The node_modules/typescript/bin folder appears a follows:
As seen, a tsc file does exist, however the expected tsc.cmd doesn't.
This is required for windows to execute.
My assumption is this must be system or permissions problem whereby node can't create the tsc.cmd, not necessarily and issue with the
typescript package

Additional notes:
I have also tested this on 10.24.1 using nvm, this is now uninstalled
I have ran these steps on another machine, without problems countless
times.
I have uninstalled (completely) nvm and node before attempting this
multiple times.
I have performed a complete system search for tsc.cmd I do have
wsl installed, perhaps there is some interference there?

I think this is an issue more related to your node path in your environment variables. To test this, install something else globally, like sass for example.
Then you can try sass --version. If it doesn't work the it's probably that your node path is messed up. You can try uninstalling node and reinstall it with the last LTS installing file from the official site. Then you can try to installing typescript again. If that doesn't work you'll need to open the environment variables and check your path for node modules.
Another possible solution is to try using another command line, because maybe a Powershell config is messing up this things. You can try installing git bash. It's not the best, but works.
Solution: use yarn!
As mentioned, I am missing tsc.cmd whatever method I choose (win 11). Who knows what the cause is.
By using yarn :
Delete the dudd folder under your node_modules folder from any npm attempts
yarn global remove typescript
yarn global add typescript
add 'C:\Users{yourUserName}\AppData\Local\Yarn\Data\global\node_modules.bin' to your path
As mentiond, you now have the required tsc.cmd:
What a ride ey!
I'm learning laravel and follwing this tutorial,
But when I went try and install npm, is says bash: npm: command not found
If you have already installed nodejs and still getting this error. npm: command not found..
run this
apt-get install -y npm
I also come here for the same problem, The solution I found is to install npm and then restart the Visual Studio Code
in redhat base OS (tested in centos 7)
yum install nodejs npm -y
in debian base OS
apt-get install -y npm
I am following the same tuturial and I had this issue and how I solved is just download the
8.11.4 LTS version
from this link then install it then the command worked just fine!
I know it's an old question. But it keeps showing in google first position and all it says it's "install node.js".
For a newbie this is not obvious, so all you have to do is go to the node.js website and search for the command for your linux distribution version or any other operating system. Here is the link:
https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/
In this page you have to choose your operating system and you'll find your command. Then you just log into your console as a root (using putty for instance) and execute that command.
After that, you log as normal user and go again inside your laravel application folder and run again npm install command, and it should work.
Hope it helps.
The solution is simple.
After installing Node, you should restart your VScode and run npm install command.
If you already installed npm globally on your system, and you are still getting the above error message by using VSCode terminal. Just close your VSCode application and reopen again, that should resolve the issue.
First You need to check the node version using terminal (not gitbash)
node --version
npm --version
if those exists, Restart your pc and check
Cheers !!
In my case it was entirely my fault (as usual) I was changing the system path under the environment variables, in Windows, and messed up the path for Node/NPM. So the solution is to either re-add the path for NPM, see this answer
or the lazy option: re-install it which will re-add it for you.
I need some help and clarification regarding Yarn installation process.
MacOS ver. 10.14.2
I've installed Homebrew via official site (ver. 2.0.1).
I've installed NPM by downloading package from official site (ver. 10.15.1 LTS).
Now when I tried to install yarn via brew install yarn
I have the following error:
The post-install step did not complete successfully
You can try again using `brew postinstall node`
As I undertand, NPM installs node locally, when, for instance, I try to use create-react-app. When I use Homebrew to install yarn, it tries to install node globally. And we have conflict here.
I've found suggestion to use:
sudo chown -R `whoami`:admin /usr/local/
I am not entirely sure what this command does.
So, the questions are:
Why changing the owner of the folder should be a solution? How will it affect multi user system?
What is the correct way to install yarn?
Can be there any conflicts if node is installed globally and locally (app folder.)
P.S. Please correct me, if I have wrong understanding here.
As Trott points out, npm does not install Node. npm is a package manager that comes bundled with Node. If you install Node, you automatically install npm.
Why changing the owner of the folder should be a solution? How will it affect multi user system?
It's not. Changing the permissions of this folder is sometimes suggested as a workaround for when you have npm installed in a location owned by root. This can cause EACCES errors when you try to install packages globally.
What is the correct way to install yarn?
While you can install Yarn through the Homebrew package manager, I would recommend doing: npm install -g yarn.
Can be there any conflicts if node is installed globally and locally (app folder).
You can't install Node globally and locally. You can install multiple versions of Node on the same machine, however.
I'm not a big fan of having one global Node installation, as it makes it a pain to update (esp. if one application relies on an older version of Node) and, depending on how you install Node, it can lead to permissions errors.
The better way is to use a version manager. This will allow you to install multiple Node versions on your machine, avoid permissions errors and swap between these Node versions at will.
I would recommend using nvm. It works nicely on MacOS. The TL;DR for installing nvm is:
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash
But I would encourage you to look at the project on GitHub and read its README. There is also a good tutorial on how to use it here.
Once you have Node installed using nvm, run npm install -g yarn to install Yarn globally and you should be off to the races.
Finally, you might want to read this tutorial on using npm, as it could help to clear up some of the concepts.
HTH
I have faced a problem after install yarn by running npm install -g yarn command in my OS Windows 10 Pro. That was showing yarn' is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file.
Whatever, I have found the solution:
After npm,
go to CMD from your windows PC,
write : *npm install -g yarn*
then,
Go to Environmental Variables set up.
Edit Path and add new and paste:
C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\yarn\bin\
Restart your terminal. And then check again in your cmd by running :
*yarn* or *yarn --version*
The jupyeter lab documentation (http://ipywidgets.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user_install.html) asks to run the following command to install labextensions:
jupyter labextension install #jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager
I am working behind a corporate firewall and getting node package manager to work properly is very difficult. Is there some other way to predownload labextensions and then do a local install without the need to use an internet connection?
I'm currently exploring if this is possible (as I have a similar server wherein I do not have admin privileges), but in the meantime, perhaps try using NVM (https://github.com/creationix/nvm) to install Node and NPM. This will at least help you get around needing to have root permissions (i.e. sudo).
