Installing Node.js latest version - node.js

I was having trouble in updating my npm. I updated my node from v6 to v10. And was wondering what version of npm is installed with the version of v10? or does it remain same ? because in my case it was still showing same old version of npm which is 3.3.12, could not able to update it to 6.5.0. there was some constant error coming which was really annoying every time. So i tried to uninstall node and install it again and again. But it is not working. for people to know i am using windows 7.
The error that i get when i try to update npm using command :
npm install --global --production npm-windows-upgrade
Error: Cannot find module 'internal/util/types'
and when i run : npm-windows-upgrade --npm-version latest ,
i get the error to reinstall node as there was error in installing npm upgrade. Please suggest me what to do

Update node version:
Use n module from npm in order to upgrade node
sudo npm cache clean -f sudo npm install -g n sudo n stable
To upgrade to latest version (and not current stable) version, you can use
sudo n latest
You will be found latest version for both npm and node

How about npm rebuild it? Hopefully, it would help you. If not working, reinstalling node and clearing npm cache could be fixed probably.

npm does not support Node v10.16.0 but my version of npm does

Getting a warning that
npm does not support Node.js v10.16.0.
However my version of npm is 6.9.0 which is the version that is tied to 10.16.0.
I've tried all the suggestions here on such as sudo npm uninstall -g npm but still getting the same error as the version that is reinstalled is 6.9.0
A full remove and install just gets me back to the original issue. Please stop suggesting brew uninstall node
Even a complete uninstall outlined below did not do the trick for longer than a day. I guess I'll just have to live with the issue. There does not seem to be a fix.
The best solution in your case is to uninstall both node and npm fully, and then reinstall the node which will bring the matching npm version. Using Node Version Manager can simply node and npm version management a lot.
Manually uninstall:
sudo apt-get remove nodejs
sudo apt-get remove npm
Then go to /etc/apt/sources.list.d and remove any node list if you have. Then do a
sudo apt-get update
This answer describes it all.

How to properly upgrade npm on debian when installed with apt

I have issue with jessie and npm.
I have installed package nodejs with sudo apt-get install nodejs, so it installed npm automatically.
I then want to install latest of npm using npm i -g npm#latest, which work fine except the apt npm version is conflicting.
I want to remove the conflicting apt installed version, or to know the official way to update npm, if installed from apt.
I am only able to update node using npm i -g n then n stable but it is impossible for me to upgrade npm
npm is distributed with Node.js- which means that when you download Node.js, you automatically get npm installed on your computer.
A quote from The npm Blog
The best way to install npm is to install node using the node.js installer. npm is installed as part of node.
It’s over at nodejs.org. It will give you a recent, working version of npm with all the paths in the expected places. This is the version that npm Inc and the Node.js project both support.
Once you’ve installed Node.js, you can make sure you’ve got the very most recent version of npm using npm itself by running this:
npm install npm -g
If you have issues, do not use sudo, read in documentation fixing npm permissions carefully and configure npm properly.

npm WARN npm npm does not support Node.js v9.1.0

I updated to the latest node v9.1.0 and now npm doesn't work.
npm WARN npm npm does not support Node.js v9.1.0
It turns out that the current installed npm is not compatible with the new node and has a hard time updating.
The solution is to uninstall npm and then reinstall node which will contain the correct version of npm.
Here's how:
Uninstall npm.
Mac:
sudo npm uninstall -g npm
Windows:
npm uninstall -g npm
Install node from https://nodejs.org
Uninstall the global instance of npm:
npm uninstall -g npm
This will cause your system to fall back on the version of npm installed by node 9.1.0 and the warning will disappear.
What worked for me was to delete npm and npm cache from C:\Users\chrisd\AppData\Roaming
Then I ran npm i -g npm#next for the latest version of npm for Node 9.x
NPMJS.org has issued a new release 11.27.2017 -- npm v5.6.0
(You may not have to delete the npm/npm cacheif you just upgrade, but I had already done that before finding the new release)
NPMJS Release notes
Fixed my issue update to 5.71
npm uninstall -g npm
npm i -g npm#next
Had similar issue in linux/ubuntu, below helped solving it.
Remove existing versions of npm and node:
sudo apt --auto-remove purge npm
sudo apt --auto-remove purge nodejs
Re-install node
for me worked
npm uninstall -g npm
npm i -g npm#next
No need for manual installation or clearing the cache.
Run with admin credentials if needed.
I saw this warning after I upgraded to Node 10.4.1 after that I just ran npm uninstall -g npm with -g flag to remove it globally and the error was gone. I guess it updated my npm to version 6.1.0
Solution :
Go to the path where you can find the debug log (this file is found in your npm-cache folder) C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming
Delete the NPM and NPM-Cache folder, but DO NOT reinstall node. Once deleted go back to your command line and re-use the command " npm install -g npm#latest "
What worked for me - On Ubuntu
Install nodejs
sudo apt install nodejs
Install npm
curl -L https://www.npmjs.com/install.sh | sudo sh
If you are unable to uninstall npm, instead you can skip that step and just
Reinstall npm https://nodejs.org/en/
This error occurs when the npm version not compatible with the node version. However npm uninstall -g npm also gives the same error for me.
So following steps work for me.
Option 1:
Step1: Follow this directory
C:\Users(your username)\AppData\Roaming
Step2: Delete the npm folder. And if there is a folder called `npm cache, delete it also.
Step3: Run npm clean cache —force ( — force is now required to clean cache)
If the above option is not worked for you please follow the below steps.
Option 2:
Follow this directory
C:\Users(your username)\AppData\Roaming
Delete the npm folder and if there is one mom cache folder.
Run npm clean cache --force ( -- force is now required to clean cache)
Make sure everything to do with Nodejs is deleted and uninstalled.
Reinstall Nodejs.
I had the same issue with npm when I have updated Node js on windows. I tried many things but only working solution was :
First uninstall npm with below command
npm uninstall -g npm
Now Install latest version
npm install npm#latest -g
If you are using Mac and brew, that's how I've got rid of this problem:
Even though I installed and reinstalled node with brew, with last version 11.8.0, apparently it kept using the last version
fdecollibus$ npm install --global gatsby-cli
npm WARN npm npm does not support Node.js v11.8.0
npm WARN npm You should probably upgrade to a newer version of node as we

+ gatsby-cli#2.4.8
npm -v gave me back version 5.6.0. I've therefore noticed that /usr/local/lib/node_modules had wrong permissions assigned to root:wheel.
A chown did not fix the problem: I've had to manually delete the content of the folder (cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules and -careful - type rm -rf * ) to get rid of the folder.
Then I've run brew uninstall node and again brew install node, and finally npm -v gave me back 6.5.0
Executing npm uninstall -g npm gave me same error
Uninstall Node.js installed in the system
Goto c:\Program File\nodejs (default location of the nodejs installation). Remove all contents of the folder manually.
Remove npm, npm-cache folder from Roaming folder under your username.
Install Node.js again.
running npm install #angular/cli -g worked for me.
I was getting the below warning when I executed, npm install to install package.json for my angular project.

According to #Ilyich, I uninstalled global npm, npm uninstall -g npm
And then I executed npm install to install my package, it installed successfully.
Navigate to the Appdata by typing %AppData% in the run or search.
Delete the npm and npm-cache folder and then install the nodejs again. It solved the issue for me.
If you are getting the same warnings while creating or importing an Angular project in an IDE such as Eclipse ,do the following:
File->New->Angular
In the window that appears change the versions of Nodejs and NPM to "use system installation"
...
If the process crashes at "installing packages for tooling via npm"
Close the terminal in IDE and manually go to the project directory and do "npm install".
Refresh the project in IDE
I had a similar issue trying to install other stuffs.
And looks like the npm version was not compatible with my node version.
In my case i had npm 5.4.2 and node v10.15.0
At the end of this process i had the version npm 6.7.0 and node v10.5.0
First Option:
I downgrade the version of node and other tools.
On terminal execute the next command with the version to be installed. (Example if we need change to node 8.14.1)
1.- Npm install -g node#8.14.1
Then we execute the command to uninstall the version to be removed.
2.- Npm uninstall -g node#8.15.0
After that we need execute the next command to set the new path
3.- Npm update -g node#8.14.1
Finally we only need execute the version to see if the changes were added successfully
4.- Node -v
In this case we will see the version as 8.14.1 and we finished the process.
If you want do it for Appium and Npm version you can open a new terminal and follow the same steps in order to change the version. For example:
Npm install -g appium#1.7.2
Npm uninstall -g appium#1.10.0
Npm update -g appium#1.7.2
Appium -v
In my case you must have the next versions:
Node 8.14.1
Npm 6.4.1
Other Way:
To solve it i just execute in the terminal the next line.
curl -L https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
After download a few files (took around of 10 minutes to see results in the terminal) i was able to continue working with the new latest and compatible version of both tools.
The next WARM was displayed in this case.

I am on a macOS and what ended up working for me was uninstalling npm, relinking Node, and reinstalling Node through Homebrew. (Prereqs: Have Homebrew installed and have a very confusing setup where npm and Node don't work together)
1. To uninstall homebrew:
If you are on a Mac, you probably don't see the AppData\Roamingfolder; you should instead go to npm root -g and delete the npm_modules folder. Now, when you type npm --version your computer should be confused.
2. Reinstalling node:
Try doing brew install node and if you already have node installed, your computer will ask you to reinstall it. If you do brew reinstall node and your versions of brew and npm look good, then you don't need to do the last step!
3. If you need to link the correct version of Node:
This step was something I think was my fault since I think I had installed Node through Homebrew as well as the actual online download. Follow the suggestions after brew link node which should take you to brew link --overwrite node. There will be around 7 directories that the command will not be able to overwrite, which you should all delete using sudo rm -rf directory_name. (Do use your common sense, don't delete something important.) After you are finally able to run the brew link --overwrite node command without any errors, you should then do brew reinstall node since you don't have npm anymore.
Tada! You hopefully now have version of npm and node that hopefully can work together.
Just install latest version of Node.js from https://nodejs.org
This will automatically update npm for you
Easiest way I found was to install the latest node with brew and the latest npm manually:
brew uninstall node
brew install node
npm install -g npm#latest
This removed the warning message. For some reason brew wasn't linking the new npm installed by node while it was updating node itself.
The easiest way(for windows) is to use the installer to remove node, then use it to reinstall node, at which time it will install the correct version of npm. running the above uninstall commands does not work, since the wrong version of node is installed, otherwise you wouldn't have this issue.
You can uninstall node current version, and install a early version that support npm. Then run npm install npm#latest -g and install current node version.
It's work for me
lowering the npm version worked for me (windows 10):
npm i npm#6.14.11
To upgrade the npm and Node:
Step 1. Uninstall the npm:
Mac: `sudo npm uninstall -g npm`
Windows: `npm uninstall -g npm`
Step 2: Install the latest version of Node: https://nodejs.org/en/

npm does not support Node.js v9.0.0

I just upgraded my project to use Node.js v9.0.0. When I start my project using npm, it tells me I should upgrade to a newer Node version, but I believe this is the newest version. I also believe I'm on the newest version of npm (5.5.1).
Do I need to worry about this warning? Is there a good way to resolve the issue?
Here's the full warning:
npm WARN npm npm does not support Node.js v9.0.0
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.
npm WARN npm You can find the latest version at https://nodejs.org/
Now using node v9.0.0 (npm v5.5.1)
I've just upgraded to Node v9 and ran into the same issue. There's a Github issue for this here.
Following the advice to uninstall a global instance of npm has resolved the issue for me, using:
npm uninstall -g npm
With Node 10.6.0 on Windows 10 with Git Bash installed, I did this and all worked well:
1. Launch Git Bash terminal.
2. cd ~/AppData/Roaming
3. rm -rf npm
4. rm -rf npm-cache
5. npm install -g npm#latest
Check version and test on an existing project to verify (cd to project dir)...
6. npm -version
7. npm install
NB: Performing steps 2 through 4 via Windows Explorer could be faster.
9.0.0 is indeed the latest version available at the moment. The reason that NPM shows you this message is because NPM hasn't updated their unsupported.js yet to accept 9.0.0 as a supported version.
I would say that you can probably use it without problems, but if you stumble upon one, know that it's probably caused by a breaking change in Node.js 9.0.0 and will very likely be fixed by the NPM team soon.
npm does not support Node.js v9.1.0
Uninstall did not work for me
npm uninstall -g npm
Node.js v9.1.0 comes bundled with npm v5.5.1. The latest version of npm is also v5.5.1, however, the version bundled with Node.js isn't exactly the same as the original version from npm.
The following is what I needed to do on MacOS
To completely uninstall node + npm, do the following:
1. go to /usr/local/lib and delete any node and node_modules.
2. go to /usr/local/include and delete any node and node_modules directory.
3. download and install node from nodejs.org
Latest update Jan 2018: NPM has released version 5.6.0 to work with this.
How to upgrade npm:
Note if you are using node version 9 you will not be able to upgrade npm directly, since npm does not support version 9, so using nvm, downgrade node to latest stable release, that will make npm work, then use commandnpm install -g npm#latest to upgrade npm.
Install nvm:
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.8/install.sh | bash\n
export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"\n[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"
Download and use node X version:
nvm install 4.4.2
nvm use 4.4.2
node -v
[sudo] npm install -g npm#5.3.x remove this problem for me. ubuntu 16.10

libsass bindings not found when using node-sass in nodejs

I want to use the node-sass module in my node.js v0.12 application to benefit from the performance of libsass.
I executed npm i node-sass to install the module, no errors so far.
Now the mess starts:
If I just open the REPL in a terminal to try out node-sass then everything works fine but if I include it in my project files and run node myfile.js then I get the following error message:
Error: `libsass` bindings not found. Try reinstalling `node-sass`?
The module's description at npmjs.com states that there might be a problem with resolving #!/usr/bin/env node under Ubuntu and how to fix this but that is not the case on my machine.
I could not find anything useful so I hope that you might help me.
I'm using node v0.12.2 under Ubuntu 14.10.
P.S.: I already tried to reinstall node-sass but without success. Nothing changes.
If you're using node 4.x or later then you need to reinstall gulp-sass with:
npm uninstall --save-dev gulp-sass
npm install --save-dev gulp-sass#2
You’ve probably tried to reinstall node-sass while using
npm install node-sass
or
npm uninstall node-sass
npm install node-sass
But node-sass is a C version of Sass. You have to use npm rebuild:
npm rebuild node-sass
I fixed this issue by deleting the existing /node_modules folder and running npm update
This is the only solution that worked for me,
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n 0.12.7
npm install node-sass#2
sudo npm -g install node-gyp#3
npm rebuild node-sass
This workaround (http://forum.ionicframework.com/t/error-running-gulp-sass/32311/20) worked form me.
Starting with this setup:
Cordova CLI: 5.3.3
Gulp version: CLI version 3.9.0
Gulp local: Local version 3.9.0
Ionic Version: 1.1.0
Ionic CLI Version: 1.6.5
Ionic App Lib Version: 0.3.9
ios-deploy version: Not installed
ios-sim version: 5.0.1
OS: Mac OS X Yosemite
Node Version: v4.1.1
Xcode version: Xcode 6.4 Build version 6E35b
I've found a solution to avoid to use 'sudo' command. We need before to fix npm permissions following this: https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions and fixing permissions for Node here: http://mawaha.com/permission-fix-node-js/ After this we can check and reinstall software without 'sudo' for npm, n or ionic.
I followed this step:
npm install -g n
rm -R node_modules/
npm install node-sass#3.3.3
npm -g install node-gyp#3
npm uninstall gulp-sass
npm install gulp-sass#2
npm rebuild node-sass
ionic setup sass
Why node-sass#3.3.3? Because it works with latest ionic version: https://github.com/driftyco/ionic/pull/4449
Combining the two answers above worked for me, plus additions:
sudo npm uninstall --save gulp-sass
npm install --save gulp-sass#2
npm update
npm rebuild node-sass
I have solved this to create the right directory with the specified binding.node file. You can download the bindings from github
https://github.com/sass/node-sass-binaries
Look in the error message the path where it tries to find the binding. In my case:
C:\Users\Martijn\Documents\node_modules\gulp-sass\node_modules\node-sass\vendor\win32-x64-46
So I create this map win32-x64-46 and copy the binding from github in.
My solution was to downgrade to v0.10.25 (try sudo n 0.10.25 if you use n)
For me, this issue was caused in my build system (Travis CI) by doing something kind of dumb in my .travis.yml file. In effect, I was calling npm install before nvm use 0.12, and this was causing node-sass to be built for 0.10 instead of 0.12. My solution was simply moving nvm use out of the .travis.yml file’s before_script section to before the npm install command, which was in the before_install section.
This was a Node version issue for me, try using nvm to backtrack your version to something like: 0.10.32. This worked for me. I was running 4.2.2
I solved this problem by updating my gcc from 4.4.x to 4.7.x
No need for sudo or re-installations. This has always worked for me:
nvm use 0.12.2
This is the steps I undertook to fix my issue.
I updated my node manually to the latest version
Reinstalled node-sass
npm install node-sass
3.npm audit fix to fix certain vulnerabilities.
`npm audit fix`
5.npm install node-sass
`npm install node-sass`
worked and compiled properly thereafter.
I apologize if anything related to my answer isn't right. I'm just a beginner.
Hope it works for you
