I found the gatsby-source-tumblr at www.gatsbyjs.org/packages/gatsby-source-tumblr/ and decided to give it a go since I have pictures on tumblr that I would like to show on my gatsby site.
However, it won't install.
Here's the error:

Has anyone experienced this problem with this plugin?
Any ideas how to solve this problem?
You need to install something like cygwin for run bash scripts.
But cygwin does not have sudo command as well, and in this case you can create some stub script for this command cydwyn sudo
I've gotten this same error on two different npm packages and haven't seemed to be able to figure it out. I've checked this answer and I don't have any other servers running. I've also tried deleting my module_packages folder, cleaning npm cache clean and then reinstalling using npm i as many threads have suggested, but I still get the same error.

Any ideas on what might be causing the error would be helpful.
I have good and bad news for you. The good news first: Everythings fine with your computer.
The bad news: The module you would like to install is incompatible with windows operating systems. Have a look at the first line of your error message:
Unable to download libstorj for platform: win32 and arch: x64
There is already an open issue for this problem on GitHub, see: https://github.com/Storj/node-libstorj/issues/43
As mentioned in this issue there are multiple problems:
download/unzip not working
not compiling because some linux-only functions being used (access function)
not linking (it seems nettle and some other link fails)
So you have two options: Wait until this issue gets fixed - or - switch your operating system ;-)
I was getting a "code ELIFECYCLE" error trying to run "usemin" and "imagemin" node-modules via script entries in package.json. These script entries were given in a Coursera "Full Stack Developer" course:
"imagemin": "imagemin img/* -o dist/img/ &&
"usemin": "usemin index.html -d dist -o dist/index.html",
The first line should have read:
"imagemin": "imagemin --out-dir=dist/img/ img/**/*.{png,jpg,git}"
And the issue with usemin giving a "code ELIFECYLE" error was finally traced to the fact that I had installed the API version ("npm install usemin") rather than the cli version ("npm install usemin-cli).
Hope the above helps some other nubbie avoid what now look like an obvious pair of mistakes!
This is probably a Windows specific issue but I haven't found any information when googling this issue. I had been using ionic framework which relies on Cordova (or Phonegap). However, the problem is not specific to any of these packages. I see this error quite often. So, the error is when I run a command such as the following:
npm install -g cordova
However, I could substitute various other packages and get the same error. I'll paste the snippet (very brief) below of the error message. What is strange is that I had an ionic project working in that directory earlier. Then today it told me that ionic could not be found. My hunch is that this is a different issue than the main issue I am describing here.
I installed git bash so I do have a linux-like environment that I could try. I would just select Git Bash for a bash window with various bash commands. If there is an easier way to fix this for Windows users, please let me know. I have seen courses on Pluralsight where the instructors seem to be happily using npm with no problems. Also, when I use yeoman, I also at some point, in many cases, get the same error.
The error is

Via this question on SO it could be that you just have to do:
npm cache clean.
But, also try the other methods suggested there like adding the registry option:
npm install <packagename> --registry http://registry.npmjs.org/.
Or, if you've been mingling with the package.json file by yourself, check if it's valid.
What does ELIFECYCLE mean?
Here's my app code: https://gist.github.com/samholmes/388ca4552c5936b52c5d
When I run the 'blast-emails' command, it will run for a while until shortly crashing with the error:

I'm looking for one of two answers: What does ELIFECYCLE mean? (or) Why am I getting the error in my application code?
It's basically saying it fails to spawn your process not due to permission but to an error in your script. Source
You don't have any problem executing NODE_ENV=production node app.js ?
One might think this is because outdated versions of npm and node, but it's not the case.
Just as Pierre Inglebert says, if you look into the source you can see that End of lifecycle means the program unexpectedly stopped. This can have various reasons. So it's not a syntax error and not an expected exception/error.
The error appeared to me when a different tool was already using the http port (3000) defined in my node scripts. When you run your node app on port 80, make sure you have stopped Apache webserver (as an example).
In my case, it was because of low RAM memory, when a photo compression library was unable to process bigger photos.
While working on a WordPress theme, I got the same ELIFECYCLE error with slightly different output:

After trying npm install one more time with the same result, I tried bower install. When that was successful I tried gulp build and that also worked.
Everything is working just fine now. No idea why running each command separately worked when && failed but maybe someone else will find this answer useful.
If you came here like I did, after receiving a similar error when trying the React Getting Started guide, you might like to know that the problem could have been caused by not having installed Watchman. Download it here, or install it with Homebrew with brew install watchman and try again: https://facebook.github.io/watchman/docs/install.html
PS: You might want to do a brew update first.
When running Webpack build I was getting similar error because node doesn't understand async await keywords on older versions. I added webpack babel-plugin-transform-async-to-generator and it was solved. This replaces them with promises.

I had the same error after I installed new packages or updated them:
...
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1
...
It helped me to run installation command once again or a couple of times.
After that, the error disappeared.
I had this issue when I was running two projects that had the same set up and I already had one running. This meant that the other project couldn't use that port number. As soon as I stopped the other project running I had no issues.
This issue can also occur when you pull code from git and not yet installed node modules "npm install".
The Windows solution is the same as the Linux sudo answer. Run the npm start (or whatever) as Administrator. I had added a new module to my project. Worked on some machines but on others that were more locked down, not so much. Took a while to figure it out but the new module needed access to "something" that wasn't available without administrator permissions.
I had the same error code when I was running npm run build inside node docker container.
Locally it was working while inside a container I had set option to throw error when there is a warning during compilation while locally it wasn't set. So this error can mean anything that is connected with stopping the process being done by NPM
In my case I generated a similar error when I copied the project over from another directory. some hidden files, like the critical .babelrc, were missing. SO ahhh... make sure you copy all the files!
:)
For me it was a ternary statement:
It was complaining about this line in particular, about the semicolon:
let num_coin = val.num_coin ? val.num_coin || 2;
I changed it to:
let num_coin = val.num_coin || 2;
Likewise, I saw this error as a result of too little RAM. I cranked up the RAM on the VM and the error disappeared.
I found the solution here - https://javahowtos.com/guides/124-docker/418-npm-exit-status-137-when-building-a-docker-image.html
It says - The cause of this specific npm error status usually means that Docker is going out of memory. So, when this happens, the Linux kernel just kills the process.
if you are running on ubuntu, please check your nodejs version. please update the version to the latest and clear the cache and reinstall the modules (npm install) and build.
or otherwise
please upgrade your RAM size and try again. it'll work sure.
First, you will have to remove the npm cache and upgrade to the latest version of the node and npm will resolve the issue.
sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n install n
sudo n stable
The first command will force clean the npm package manager's cache, After the second and third commands, a stable version of the node and npm will be installed. then you can execute npm i and npm run build for creating an optimized production build.
This solution worked for the same error on the npm run build command in nextjs.

npm not ok
Can someone please explain:
[1] why npm says `sudon't` and grunt docs says `do sudo`? And what is it all about?
[2] I want to install the grunt as a tool. Why does the message complains about missing package.json which is project-dependent (and I don't want to run grunt on any project, I want to install it globally first)?
[3] what can I do to make it install successfully?
The solution was quite tricky... I'm using ubuntu oneiric ocelot, which was still maintained one week ago (it's not that old). I installed node.js through default ubuntu packages and it turned out to be the problem - I got 0.4.9 version installed, which seems to be old, odd and strange (I had no experience with node.js before). I removed it and followed instructions from https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installing-Node.js-via-package-manager - added remote package repository and installed node.js from there. Now I've got a shiny 0.10.5 with sudo npm install working perfectly fine with no complaints.
