In my server(CentOS 7.2) I install the dependencies:
npm install
But I get bellow error:
npm ERR! code Z_BUF_ERROR
npm ERR! errno -5
npm ERR! unexpected end of file
npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:

in the /root/.npm/_logs/2018-02-11T21_03_20_261Z-debug.log, the info is bellow:

I tried use：
npm cache clean
to clean the npm, but fails:
npm ERR! As of npm#5, the npm cache self-heals from corruption issues and data extracted from the cache is guaranteed to be valid. If you want to make sure everything is consistent, use 'npm cache verify' instead.
npm ERR!
npm ERR! If you're sure you want to delete the entire cache, rerun this command with --force.

Answer 1

Try cleaning the cache with the command npm cache clean --force and retry your npm install.

Answer 2

"npm cache clean --force"
"npm cache verify"
following steps helped me!! :-)
if problem still persist : "npm i npm"

Answer 3

In the end, I delete the node_modules:
rm -rf node_modules
and deleted the package-lock.json,
then re-install:
npm install
It works for me.

Answer 4

As suggested in npm GitHub
Node 8.9.0+ (and 9+) fix an issue where streams are terminated early
in some scenarios. If you're getting this error upgrade to 8.9.
So you can just try to update your node and npm

Answer 5

I was trying this on Windows 10 and the only solution that worked for me was updating npm by giving
npm install npm#latest -g

Answer 6

None of the listed solutions helped in my case. I solved the problem by manually removing the caches folder:
rm -rf ~/.npm/_cacache
Or if npm installed in the root folder:
sudo rm -rf /root/.npm/_cacache

Answer 7

npm install --cache /tmp/empty-cache
This is what worked for me

Answer 8

The network caused the module to download the failure
Install a Taobao image and then it's fine:
npm install -g cnpm -- registry-https://registry.npm.taobao.org
cnpm install egg -- save

Answer 9

After trying everything related to npm still the problem persist then it might be caused due to some unwanted cache which are getting deleted in the ".apm" folder.
Follow these steps.
Goto -> C:\Users\Your_Username\.atom\.apm\_cacache
Delete all the files(tmp,content,index etc..)
Again try and install the package by command or atom.
This might work for you. :-)
