npm WARN: npm does not support Node.js v12.4.0 - node.js

I've been getting the following warnings lately whenever I run any npm script:
npm WARN npm npm does not support Node.js v12.4.0
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 6, 8, 9, 10, 11.
npm WARN npm You can find the latest version at https://nodejs.org/
It says that I should upgrade to a newer version, but v12.4 is the newest version. Even though the scripts run fine, I think there's no guarantee and something might break at any moment.
I've also tried updating npm in case there's a newer version using npm install npm -g but got the error:
npm ERR! path /usr/local/Cellar/node/12.4.0/lib/node_modules/npm
npm ERR! code EACCES

Then I've seen that Homebrew version of npm can't be updated using npm itself, so I tried updating through Homebrew using brew upgrade npm but got this error:
Error: npm 12.4.0 already installed
For some reason Brew mixes up nodes and npms versions.
What am I doing wrong and how can I get rid of this warning?

What worked for me:
if you try running this command "npm cache clean -f" and it doesn't work,
on your windows machine(mine is windows 10)
access the "npm" and "npm-cache" folders in this location "~\AppData\Roaming\"
delete these two folders "npm" and "npm-cache".
go to your windows search bar and search for Node, right click to open file location, run the uninstaller to uninstall NodeJs.
then visit nodejs.org and download and install node again, if you've already downloaded it, visit the folder where you downloaded it to reinstall it.
after installation, check your version of npm by typing "npm -v" on your command terminal to see the new updated version of npm installed on your machine.
now you're all set, Happy coding.

Seems like you messed up with permissions in /usr/local.
Here is how to fix that:
Fix /usr/local permissions:
sudo chown -R `id -un`:`id -gn` /usr/local
Clean npm cache and uninstall it:
npm cache clean -f
npm -g uninstall npm
Reinstall node (with npm)
brew reinstall node
Upgrade npm:
npm -g i npm
That should bring npm#6.9.2.
You should avoid using sudo while installing software with brew or npm, that could cause issues like this.

If you have nvm you may have an issue in which your node version installed at a certain version didn't match.
For example, I accidentally used: npm i -g node --force resulting in my nvm v12.21.0 to point to v16.5.0 (the latest version of node at that time directly downloadable).
To solve: I ran:
Just for good measure brew uninstall nvm
brew install nvm.
nvm uninstall 12.21
nvm install 12.21
Just for good measure I ran npm i -g npm resulting in the latest version of npm installed on that virtual node.
After installing within some repo (using npm i) you may also want to check your: ~/.npmrc.
email=myemail#company.com
registry=https://artifactory.company.com/npm/npm/
always-auth=true
user-agent=npm/6.14.11 node/v12.21.0 darwin x64
_authToken=siofjwoirgiowrgnioaenrvoianeoiio32noi23nio23nio23nio
It should look something like this: (or you might not have any of that.

Had the same issue with Debian 10 (buster) when I tried installing the npm and node.js. They were incompatible and wouldn't update. This was what I found works for me.
sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable
The nodejs package was installed at a different path and I manually deleted the old package (in /usr/bin/) and added a symlink to point to the new one (in /usr/local/bin).
sudo rm /usr/bin/node
sudo ln -s /usr/local/node /usr/bin/node
This is the initial printouts from running the commands. The npm version updates from 5.8.0 to 8.1.2. But the nodejs version stayed at 10.24.0 even after reboot with hash -r.

None of the answers here worked. I had to delete the npm and npm-cache folders, then reinstall npm. Details here: npm does not support Node.js v12.18.3

After step 4 posted by Styx, and if node claims installation fo a newer version but npm -v keeps showing outdated version
Code for Mac and node installed with brew:
cd /usr/local/bin/
mv npm npm-backup
mv npx npx-backup
ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/node/14.2.0/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js /usr/local/bin/npm
ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/node/14.2.0/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npx-cli.js /usr/local/bin/npx
npm -version
6.14.5

I hit this issue and the steps above didn't work for me. I think it can happen if you try to upgrade Node or NPM without updating the other also. At least I think that's what happened to me.
I was trying to create a new Angular project and I had a very old version on my machine. I got an error to upgrade Node, so I bumped it to the latest version. After that I got the error running any npm command.
I resolved it simply by going to:
https://nodejs.org/en/download/
Getting the latest version and installing that in a pkg file (mac). After install was complete I was able to run everything. I'm guessing it worked because the versions of each mismatched, so one wouldn't run without the other being downgraded.
I also tried the brew option but I was getting other issues. My corporate machine sometimes blocks installations in that route, so it might work for others.

For Windows, this was driving me crazy, and all of the above solutions were not working, I would still get the old version of node showing for node -v.
For me simply killing the terminal window and starting it again resolved the issue. No amount of cache clearing worked until this. I know it sounds dumb, but that's what resolved this for me in the end. Hope this helps someone else not lose hours farting around with this.

I've have this issue in npm -v package,so you have to easy step in follow of solve this problem.
npm use stable
nvm use stable
nvm cache clear
nvm install stable --default
you can closed the terminal then check the `npm --version

Looks like a permission issue. Try with sudo

Can't install Ember Octane on Mac; problems with NPM and NVM

I'd like to install the most recent version of Ember on my Mac with MacOS Catalina. I actually thought I had done so a few weeks ago (this machine is only three months old), but ember -v says that Ember CLI is at version 3.9 which is 13 months old.
So I entered npm install -g ember-cli in the terminal, but I get an error:
npm ERR! Error: EACCES: permission denied, access '/usr/local/lib/node_modules'
npm ERR! { [Error: EACCES: permission denied, access '/usr/local/lib/node_modules']
npm ERR! stack:

npm ERR! path: '/usr/local/lib/node_modules' }
npm ERR!
npm ERR! The operation was rejected by your operating system.
npm ERR! It is likely you do not have the permissions to access this file as the current user
So I did what is suggested here and tried to install nvm:
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.35.3/install.sh | bash
There's some output and everything is looking finde, but when I try to verify my installation using command -v nvm, there's no output at all.
npm uninstall ember-cli gives me up to date in 0.031s.
What can I do to get Ember Octane running?
edit: I managed to install NVM using Homebrew. nvm -v says 0.35.3. But I don't find any information on how to continue from here. I still get the same error when trying to install Ember.
Your problem lies in your comment:
npm bin says /Users/<my-username>/node_modules/.bin. which ember says /usr/local/bin/ember. Now it is important to understand the PATH.
Your PATH includes multiple directories and whenever you enter a commend it will be looked up in all theese directories. Now your PATH definitly contains /usr/local/bin/ and maybe later /Users/<my-username>/node_modules/.bin. It definitly should contain borth directories. If it does not contain /Users/<my-username>/node_modules/.bin thats something you should fix immediatly.
Now however your primary problem is that you basically installed ember-cli twice in two versions with two versions of npm. At the time you've installed ember originally you didnt use nvm yet. And using npm with nvm is in some ways significantly different from using it without it.
If you're using nvm basically everything lives in your $HOME (so /Users/<username>). Also the folder where npm install -g will install binaries into, it will be /Users/<my-username>/node_modules/.bin. This is actually a good thing because this means every user can install its own things there without sudo. On the other hand if you use the global npm you will install binaries installed with npm install -g into /usr/local/bin/. This however either requires sudo or changing some permissions. We dont know what you did back then, maybe you tried it once with sudo, and since then this one version basically overwrites all other versions you may install later with nvm because /usr/local/bin/ comes in your PATH before /Users/<my-username>/node_modules/.bin.
Now what you should do is get rid of /usr/local/bin/ember first. For this you do ls -lisa /usr/local/bin/ember because this is probably a symbolic link to somewhere else. Then you check where this link leads to and remove ember-cli from there. It is probably safe to just rm -rf the packages installed there. Next you delete the symbolic link /usr/local/bin/ember itself. Then run which ember again. Not this should either either fail or point to a different path. If it points to a different path you can verify that it is the version you want (in /Users/<my-username>/node_modules/.bin). If it fails you should verify that /Users/<my-username>/node_modules/.bin is actually in your PATH and that ember exists in /Users/<my-username>/node_modules/.bin.
Besides that I want to mention that ember-cli also has some interesting detail: if you run ember-cli inside an ember project it will search for the ember-cli installed inside this project and start it. So the global installed ember-cli version actually doesnt matter that much. It is basically only relevant for ember new. However for ember new you maybe want to consider to use npx because then you will always run the current version. So you could do npx ember-cli new my-app.

NPM install not working - one of the dependencies is missing

Whenever I try to execute npm install or npm i, I get this error:
npm ERR! code MODULE_NOT_FOUND
npm ERR! Cannot find module 'json-parse-helpfulerror'
I cannot update NPM through npm install npm -g or npm i npm -g, becuase it produces the same error. My computer was very low on space, and I have a feeling it might have deleted one of NPM's dependenices. The actual npm command works though.
Is there any way to fix this?
Reinstalling npm will fix the issue.
curl -L https://www.npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
If you're on Windows and you have a broken installation, the easiest thing to do is to reinstall node from the official installer.
You can also try clearing the cache
npm cache clean

Getting npm: command not found. How do I reinstall NPM when Node is already installed? Where did NPM go?

I'm starting Learn to Build Modern Web Apps with the AngularJS Tutorial and running into issues very early.
I have node installed:
/path/ang-news node -v
v0.10.26
I was using NPM earlier but was running into trouble with Yeoman. I've repeated these steps a while back but Grunt stopped working so I started fresh.
I ran:
$ sudo npm install -g generator-angular
and all the dependencies were installing until I received:
npm WARN package.json mongo#0.1.0 No repository field.
npm ERR! peerinvalid The package generator-karma does not satisfy its siblings' peerDependencies requirements!
npm ERR! peerinvalid Peer generator-angular#0.9.1 wants generator-karma#>=0.8.2
I then tried updating:
$ npm update -g
I should have run this as an administrator. I received tons of error messages, this seemed most pertinent:
npm ERR! Please try running this command again as root/Administrator.
npm ERR! System Darwin 13.1.0
npm ERR! command "/usr/local/bin/node" "/usr/local/bin/npm" "update" "-g"
npm ERR! cwd /path/ang-news
npm ERR! node -v v0.10.26
npm ERR! npm -v 1.4.3
npm ERR! not ok code 0
Then I tried uninstalling generator-karma and starting fresh:
$ sudo npm uninstall -g generator-karma
but received:
sudo: npm: command not found
$ npm -v
-bash: /usr/local/bin/npm: No such file or directory
My first question is: Why did NPM suddenly disappear?
[EDIT: Kudos to #try-catch-finally to pointing out the havoc that ensues when switching between normal user and sudo when issuing commands. It turns out that I messed up my user environment and NPM was no longer installed.]
My understanding is that NPM is installed when you install Node, so my second question is: How do I reinstall just NPM? I'd prefer not to have to reinstall Node from the beginning.
[EDIT: Kudos to #hawk and #try-catch-finally - it doesn't appear that installing NPM alone is an option, but there are easy ways to reinstall both.]
If you have a working node, you can re-install npm
curl -L https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sudo sh
Unfortunately npm update -g does not do what anybody expects. Fixing this is on the npm roadmap, but it's going to take a while.
You almost never need to install a package globally, unless (like generator-angular or grunt-cli) you want to use that package as a command.
Just in case you've done this with brew, I recommend this article on github. Will save you a lot of time.

Fixing npm On Mac OS X for Homebrew Users
Run the following commands to remove all existing global npm modules, uninstall node & npm, re-install node with the right defaults, install npm as its own pacakge, and configure the location for global npm modules to be installed.
rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules
brew uninstall node
brew install node --without-npm
echo prefix=~/.node >> ~/.npmrc
curl -L https://www.npmjs.com/install.sh | sh
Node and npm should be correctly installed at this point. The final step is to add ~/.node/bin to your PATH so commands you install globally are usable. I added this line to my ~/.path script, which gets run via ~/.bash_profile. Run the following line as is.
export PATH="$HOME/.node/bin:$PATH"
I met the exactly same problem after execute command to install the npm with latest version on redhat 7.1:
npm install npm#latest -g
after some tries i found the solution:
yum reinstall npm
I hope this could help redhat/centos users.

Why does NVM install think I am using the wrong version of Node?

While trying to install the less node module globally via the Node Package Manager, I ran into an interesting problem that I am having trouble solving. Basically, I am getting an error that claims the node module, less, is incompatible with my version of node. It says I am using node v0.6.12 and that it requires at least v0.8.0 to work.
First I made sure that I was using one of the latest versions of Node:
nvm use v0.10.11
Now using node v0.10.11
node -v
v0.10.11
Then I tried to install the less module globally:
sudo npm install -g less
And got this error message:
npm ERR! error installing less#1.4.0
npm ERR! error rolling back less#1.4.0 Error: UNKNOWN, unknown error '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/less'
npm ERR! Unsupported
npm ERR! Not compatible with your version of node/npm: request#2.21.0
npm ERR! Required: ["node >= 0.8.0"]
npm ERR! Actual: {"npm":"1.1.4","node":"0.6.12"}
npm ERR!

npm ERR! npm -v 1.1.4
npm ERR! code ENOTSUP
npm ERR! message Unsupported
npm ERR! errno {}
npm not ok
Here you can see that the node package manager is trying to install less using (or thinks it is using) node v0.6.12. It seems as though some others have run into this problem, but his problem turned out to be that he had previously installed node via apt-get, and was resolved by him using the Node Version Manager. I initially installed Node via NVM, however.the Any help that you guys could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Note: It is worth mentioning that it will successfully install using npm install -g less, without sudo permissions. However, as soon as another terminal is opened, the less node module is removed from /usr/local/lib/node_modules, rendering it useless.
Have you tired completely removing the old version, v0.6.12 with something like
sudo apt-get purge node.
I'm not a great with linux, but it seems sudo still has the old version of node in its path and calling npm under sudo is finding it and trying to use it.
The Node.js installed with Linux is probably installed in /usr/sbin/ (at least it was for me on Ubuntu 13.04). That's the old version. Since you have nvm installed and having that manage your Node.js versions, you'll want to point to ~/.nvm/v0.10.11/bin/node.
You already got a nodejs copy on your system.
The solution is to re-install or overwrite your node using /usr/local for your prefix
git clone https://github.com/joyent/node
cd node
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
sudo make install
