Node.js 15.x ships with npm 7.x, so this should not be happening if you are using the version of npm installed with the version of node you are running. The mismatch you see typically happens when someone has multiple versions installed through different mechanisms.
So, for example, if the version of node you're using is installed through nvm but somehow (typically through PATH manipulation or setting an alias) the version of npm you are using is from an old package installation, you may see an error like this.
In your case, the version of npm is very old (judging from the fact that it only supports up to Node.js v12.x). While you can upgrade it, that's probably just delaying the problem rather than solving it. Other weird things are likely to happen. You might be better served by running command -v node and command -v npm and figuring out why the npm path provided by that command is so different from the node path, and then fix that. (If they're not very different, then just update npm with npm install -g npm.)


A simple and good solution is to upgrade your npm version or the second option is to downgrade your node version.

Nevermind I figured it out there were some npm files lurking around so i deleted them, removed node reinstalled node and it fixed it.

What version of NPM is compatible with Node.js v13.6.0?

I am currently using Node.js v13.6.0 in Windows 8. When I am trying to install the NPM package, it's showing this:

My system does not support other versions of Node.js so I have to bear with it. Are there any other alternatives to install NPM with this version of Node?

This same issue happened to me. Then I installed npm#6.12.1, & it works for me so npm install -g npm should fix this issue.
If the problem still happens then try to upgrade to Windows 10 with node v16. it will surely help you.

npm WARN npm npm does not support Node.js v14.6.0

so i was taking an online course with codewithmosh.com and he told me to revert to an old version of npm so that his class would make sense. so i reverted to npm v 5.5.1. apparently this was so old of a version that it no longer is usable for npm at all. when i try to install the latest version of npm it tells me this:
npm WARN npm npm does not support Node.js v14.6.0

my node version is the absoulte latest version of node. but it still tells me that it does not support it. if i try to run npm at all it gives me the same message. i've uninstalled nodejs and deleted all associated packages and files including npm TWICE. and it still reverts back to the same v.5.5.1 and gives me the same message everytime. can anyone help me with this? my hope is i'm just an idiot. but only time will tell. please tell me i'm an idiot and how to fix this!!

Cut and paste from another thread:
delete these two folders from appdata/roaming: "npm" and "npm-cache".
(Type %AppData% into the address bar and hit enter to locate)
repair Node
Worked for me just now

I fixed this same problem using NVM, as recommended by Seblor. Install nvm if you don't already have it installed, then use the command:
nvm install node
I was able to continue using npm after that.

After installing current NodeJS LTS, I still get
npm does not support Node.js {version}.
I deleted all files in C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Roaming\npm\ and it works.

npm install -g npm-windows-upgrade
npm-windows-upgrade

I deleted node and npm from C:\Users{name}\AppData\Roaming. Then i reinstalled an older version node.js v10.15.3 and npm 6.4.1.
This brings up a different error so I'll be closing this issue...

Simple solution is upgrade your npm version or second option is downgrade your node version.
Download older node version from here
https://nodejs.org/en/download/releases/
How do I update npm?
npm install -g npm
Please note that this command will remove your current version of npm.
Make sure to use sudo npm install -g npm if on a Mac.
You can also update all outdated local packages by doing npm
update without any arguments, or global packages by doing npm update
-g.
Occasionally, the version of npm will progress such that the current
version cannot be properly installed with the version that you have
installed already. (Consider, if there is ever a bug in the update
command.) In those cases, you can do this

You are using an old version of npm. Please upgrade it to the latest.

I faced the same issue using npm, so I was thinking about the alternative of npm. And, you might give the yarn a try.
Firstly, going to https://nodejs.org/en/ to download the nodejs with the LTS version.
Secondly, going to https://yarnpkg.com to download the msi file with the stable version.
Note that the current version of nodejs and yarn are 10.16.0 LTS and 1.17.3 respectively.
After installation, you can install your project packages by using yarn install instead of npm install.

Had the same issue with latest version.
Remove all the NodeJS installation.
For now npm supports node js versions 6, 8, 9, 10, 11.
Go to this version (or older) download the msi file and then do npm install.

npm does not support Node.js v10.0.0 but older version installed

I have looked around for a solution but nothing found.
I have on my ubuntu the following versions of nodejs and npm:
nodejs -> 8.11.2
npm -> 5.6.0
When I run commands with npm I get the following warns
npm WARN npm npm does not support Node.js v10.0.0
npm WARN npm You should probably upgrade to a newer version of node as we
npm WARN npm can't make any promises that npm will work with this version.
npm WARN npm Supported releases of Node.js are the latest release of 4, 6, 7, 8, 9.
npm WARN npm You can find the latest version at https://nodejs.org/
How I can solve it?
Thank you

Run a node -v command in the directory where you need to run your program. If it returns anything other than 4,6,7,8,9 you need to use a different version of node there. Just having different versions installed doesn't mean node will switch between them to meet the dependencies of a program.
To switch between versions you can use a tool like nvm.
Once installed you can just run nvm use <desired version of node> and you're all set.
