When I try to create the starter React tutorial app using powershell, I get the below error:
"You are using npm 2.15.12 so the project will be boostrapped with an old unsupported version of tools".
"Please update to npm 3 or higher for a better, fully supported experience".
However, my NPM version is 6.11.3 as seen below.
What I have tried:
I have ran powershell as admin as answered in this question and restart.
I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Nodejs completely.
So after an extra hour digging around, I saw a few posts with similar (but not exactly) the same issue. I decided to install Yarn and install with that.
After install, I ran yarn cache clean and ran npx create-react-app your-app and it worked. Sorry for bothering you all.
I had the same problem. I'm running WSL with ubuntu, and yarn cache clear didn't work, but I noticed a node modules directory created in the project. I think it was messing with the node version so I deleted it. It worked

I was following a tutorial on Udemy in order to setup a NestJS app from scratch. Upon execution using npx ts-node-dev src/main.ts I get the error [PackageLoader] No driver (HTTP) has been selected. In order to take advantage of the default driver, please, ensure to install the "#nestjs/platform-express" package ($ npm install #nestjs/platform-express).
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling #nestjs/platform-express but I still get same error.
Finally solved this issue, I had to delete the entire node_modules folder and then run npm install with the same pckage.json file.
Catch this error after npm i. Version npm - 8.0.0, nodejs - 16.11.0.
npm ERR! Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'isServer')
I had the same issue with close versions of node and npm. I was using a shared connection from my phone since I wasn't home. When I get back home and used my WiFi things got back to normal.
If you are using such kind of connection then it is probably that causes this issue.
Try to use npm with specific version
for example i was trying to use npm install -g truffle and it did not work
but this one work npm install -g truffle#5.0.5
I updated npm and that fixed it!
You can update npm like so:
npm install -g npm#latest
If running this command doesn't work then you can try installing npm packages in an Admin Environment.
Hope this helps!
The issue could be due to the network, try to change the network and retry. This solved my issue :)
I've got the same issue, then I updated npm to 8.3.0, and the problem is solved.
Copying the npmrc.5 file from:
C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\man\man5 to C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\npm seemed to work for me:
Copy-Item -Path C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\man\man5 -Destination C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\npm –Passthru
Try stable Nodejs version 14.16.1 instead of 16.
Nodejs 14.16.1 Link
Update the latest version of Node.js. Then try to install npm the issue won't come.
Check out this URL https://nodejs.org/en/
and install a version recommended for most users.
I had this same issue, turning off all port forwarding on my router helped.
Whenever, I saw this problem. I restarted the computer and it working immediately.
I recommend trying this solution.
Based on what I've read on issues related, it seems like there's conflicting global packages and node versions.
Please try uninstalling both node and npm and try again.
Check out these issues for more details:

I had the same issue and tried all the possible solutions. None of them worked.
And finally, when I restarted my PC, it worked like a charm :).
It happened to me because of the node.js version and an npm update.
Uninstall nodejs
Delete folder C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\npm
Install nodejs (v17.x)
In your project folder:
npm install -g npm#8.3.2
npm i --package-lock-only
npm audit fix --force
It worked for me. I hope it helps you :)
When I had this problem, I was trying to deploy my NodeJs server in Heroku. The problem was I forgot to load the enviroment variables manually, so it was related to the connection to the DB, that was failing.
It happened also locally for the same reason and it was still related to the failing connection to the DB.
I kept running into this problem in different scenarios. I found that because I had used a VPN during my computer session, but not during the time I ran 'npm install', it was throwing this error. I simply reinstalled and restarted and did not enable my VPN during that session. Although, you may not have to completely reinstall-- only restart you PC without using a VPN after restart-- I do not know as I have not tried.
(Specifically I was using Express VPN)
Update: I ran into the problem again immediately after a fresh install and restart. Again I restarted my computer (without a fresh install as I had just reinstalled it.) This seemed to work for the moment. Will update with any permanent fixes I come across.
I'm using the "Getting Started" guide because I've been experiencing endless errors trying to create a react app so far when following tutorials.
And straight away I'm running into a problem. When I run npx create-react-app my-app I get the following:
Cannot find module 'C:\Users\Aristophanes\node_modules\create-react-app\index.js'
Can anyone advise me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.
This must be a problem related with your node installation (maybe you removed manually create-react-app package?). I'd recommend following these steps:
Uninstall node and npm
Delete the npm cache and npm modules in your machine (In Windows machine you can usually find them at C:\Users\ {username} \AppData\Roaming\npm-cache and C:\Users\ {user name} \AppData\Roaming\npm) respectively.
Install node and npm again
If you really don't want to delete node and npm, try step 2 and see if that works. Following these steps did the job for me, hope that helps you.
I think you might miss installing Node and npm in your machine.
I had same issue a few times. Every time I was searching thru net for a solution, and for every time i just typed in terminal
npm i node
and its just started working
The Cloud Functions emulator requires the module "firebase-admin" to
be installed. This package is in your package.json, but it's not
available. You probably need to run "npm install" in your functions
directory.
I was running well my project till i was hit with that issue. Any help, please do tell. Thanks. {Below is the image of what i am getting}
This is a bug in firebase-tools versions 6.9.0 and 6.9.1. The solution is to downgrade to 6.8.0 for now:
npm install -g firebase-tools#6.8.0

I have a simple nodejs application that is throwing "Cannot find module './build/Release/DTraceProviderBindings'". I look it up online and it looks like that a lot of people are having the same problem when using restify on windows (which is my case, I'm using restify on windows 10). Apparently, dtrace-provider is a optional module for restify and there is no version of it for windows. So, what I tried so far:
Update node to v6.2.0;
Uninstall all modules and run npm install --no-optional;
Uninstall only restify and run npm install restify --no-optional;
And my most desperate move npm install dtrace-provider.
Everything I tried where found on github issues, I've seen same error on OSX users with other modules. Not sure what else to try.
Note: This exception does not stop my application, not even prints the error on the console, I just notice that this was happening using the debugger, in other words, my application runs fine, but this keeps happening on the background.
List of other modules I'm using:
"dependencies": {
"restify": "latest",
"request": ">=2.11.1",
"cheerio": ">=0.10.0",
"xml2js": ">=0.2.0",
"botbuilder": "^0.11.1",
"applicationinsights": "latest"
}
This worked for me after switching to Node 6.1 (and when re-installing node modules didn't work):
Install and save dtrace-provider
$ npm install dtrace-provider --save
Delete 'node_modules' folder
Re-install node modules
$ npm install
I found this thread before combining your attempts with another solution on the Github project issues for restify (https://github.com/restify/node-restify/issues/1093) and simplified best as possible.
I recently ran into this error as well on node 6.11.1.
I ran npm rebuild dtrace-provider and that resolved the problem.
The restify team followed an approach of trying to load the module by requiring it on a try/catch block. You should just ignore the exception.
I had success with the following (elaborate) sequence:
Adjust my path to not have spaces
rm -rf node_modules
rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/node-gyp/
npm cache clean --force
V=1 npm install -S dtrace-provider#0.8.8 --python=python2.7 (repeat this step, resolving as you go, until the install is completely successful … if it fails, check the version - I had rogue dtrace-provider#0.6.0 building at one point)
npm install
At this point everything should have installed cleanly, and I was congratulating myself on a job well done. Then I executed my code and still got the DTraceProviderBindings error. The cause was nested dependencies with the wrong version of dtrace-provider (especially bunyan).
To confirm, do npm list | grep dtrace -B6.
If there's anything lower than 0.8.8, edit package-lock.json, following the method in How do I override nested NPM dependency versions?. Replace requires with dependencies for dtrace-provider and update the version.
Back round to get everything clean: rm -rf node_modules
Then, again, npm install --python=python2.7
I had to iterate round npm list a few times because I thought I'd caught everything and I hadn't.
The key points were to use the required version of python, have a unix-friendly path, and hunt down all nested dependencies. The python version issues gave a big messy error, the space issue gave a much more missable error.
I know this is an old issue but I wanted to comment on it in case anyone else has the same issue I had.
My issue was caused by having parentheses in my path.
/users/karlgroves/Dropbox (Personal)/foo/bar/bat/project...
Moving the project to a path without the parens worked for me.
You'll need to wipe out node_modules and reinstall again.
I recently ran into this error as well on node v8.8.1
as #Derek mentioned, I ran npm rebuild dtrace-provider and that resolved the problem.
tl;dr; dtrace-provider utilized node-gyp which required python version >= 2.5 and NOT 3.5
I had this issue on OSX and found a post that showed using environment variable
V=/Users/your_user/your_project npm i dtrace-provider
This let me know that there was a dependency on node-gyp that was failing to build...Once I knew the issue was with this module was able to focus my attention at troubleshooting node-gyp.
This led to some log output indicating that my python version 3.5 was unsupported and it required version >= 2.5.
Went and downloaded python 2.7.x and checked /usr/bin/python 2.7.x to ensure it was there. Uninstalled the node module that was ultimately requiring this module, then used npm cache clean then reinstalled the module and this time it appeared to pick up the right python version to be able to build.
Hope this helps someone =)
I have tried many suggestions but get the same error again.
Finally, I found the correct way to solve this question.
Go the node.js website and download the latest version of node.js pkg.
After installed, reinstall your software, everything will be ok.
i managed to get this working by running this command
npm install --python=python2.7
