I'm not sure what is wrong. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling node.js. My npm version is 5.6.0. This happens with every package I've tried to install. Please help, I've been trying to fix this for hours to no avail.
EDIT: I fixed it! The absolute nightmare of a program, MalwareBytes Antimalware was blocking it. I quit out of MalwareBytes and now it is working. Not the first time that program has messed up my coding.
Delete package.json and package-lock.json file, use npm init and try again.
Probably directory node_modules doesnt exist in your project working directory
I would make sure you have npm installed locally in your working directory by running npm init. I would also try re-installing npm.
EDIT:
Remove MalwareBytes Anti-Malware.

I just created a new folder on my Desktop and loaded it to VSCode so I can start building/learning about NW.js. The first thing I've done was to open VSCode Terminal and execute npm init -y, then I've proceeded to run npm install nw#sdk. No error whatsoever.
Now my new folder has a package.json, a package-lock.json, and node_modules folder.
package.json content:
{
"name": "rename-merra-app",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
},
"keywords": [],
"author": "",
"license": "ISC",
"dependencies": {
"nw": "^0.62.1-sdk"
}
}
When I try to run npm install nw-builder --save-dev as the reference suggests # https://www.npmjs.com/package/nw-builder, I got the following error:
npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! syscall spawn git
npm ERR! path git
npm ERR! errno -4058
npm ERR! enoent An unknown git error occurred

The .log file can be found here: https://pastebin.com/cZAmugRF
I've tried the following:
Restart VSCode
Restart My Computer
Run npm install (Up to date, 120 packages, version 8.5.5)
Run npm outside VSCode, directly on the prompt (same error)
Delete package-lock.json
Reinstall NodeJS (17.8.0)
Install an older version of NodeJS (17.7.1)
Search for node.js running in the background (there is none)
Disable Windows Security
Run npm cache clear --force
Does anyone have any idea how to solve this error?
Maybe one of the git links (https://registry.npmjs.org/nw-builder) from the nw-builder package is down/offline? In that case, is there any way around it so I can start building with nw.js?
Thank you for your help!
Make sure you have Git installed:
https://git-scm.com
You'll likely want to change your code to:
"devDependencies": {
"nw": "0.62.1-sdk"
}
The ^ can download the normal version if it was published after the sdk version.
I haven't used nw-builder, but from my understanding, it hasn't received any updates in several years. There is a GitHub issue related to this:
https://github.com/nwjs-community/nw-builder/issues/530
Finally, here are instructions for how to manually create your own build:

I have installed Node v12.10.0, NPM v6.10.3. I have also tried to install the node LTS version as well.
I built my project directory and inside the directory I ran "npm init" and after I ran "npm install --save-dev node-sass". Everything seems good up to this point.
my package.json file looks like this
{
"name": "dashboard",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
"scss": "node-sass --watch scss -o css"
},
"author": "",
"license": "ISC",
"devDependencies": {
"node-sass": "^4.12.0"
}
}
After I go to run " npm run scss" then I receive this.

> node-sass --watch scss -o css

figured it out. I installed homebrew and linked it to node then I used homebrew to uninstall it and reinstall it and it works now.
I'm trying to install NPM dependencies from a private GitLab instence.
So, I have my repo with basic files
And I added this dependencie in the package.json on my project
"node-demo-package": "https://oauth2:<ACCESS TOKEN>#gitlab.fullurl.git"
But, when I run npm install, I receive this error message:
npm ERR! code ENOPACKAGEJSON
npm ERR! package.json Non-registry package missing package.json: node-demo-package#https://oauth2:<ACCESS TOKEN>#gitlab.fullurl.git.
npm ERR! package.json npm can't find a package.json file in your current directory.
npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR! /Users/arnaud.delante/.npm/_logs/2018-01-24T15_05_49_456Z-debug.log
Which I don't understand as there is a package.json as showed in the screenshot.
Here it is
{
"name": "demo-package",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "Test pasckage",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
},
"repository": {
"type": "git",
"url": "git#gitlab.fullurl.git"
},
"author": "Arnaud Delante",
"license": "MIT"
}
I already tried switching https by git+https but I get another error
npm ERR! Error while executing:
npm ERR! /usr/local/bin/git ls-remote -h -t https://oauth2:<ACCES TOKEN>#gitlab.fullrul.git
npm ERR!

Which is weird because the token is correct.
Would you have any idea?
In package.json try to replace https:// by git+https://
doc : https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package.json#git-urls-as-dependencies
and then install it on other pc to check. Bu after install package and it depencies i have error when try to start it

Problem it that i have to clone package.json from git , how i can publish correctly with package.json?
Note: command start inside package.json scripts
My json for publish:

But in test/node_modules/module/(here there are everything) readme, json and script
If you want to be able to start your module from another directory, you can do it like this:
In your module package.json
{
"name": "module",
"scripts": {
"start": "node script.js"
}
}
from the test directory (as this answer suggest):
npm start --prefix node_modules/module/
Alternately, you can start your module by creating a package.json file in your test directory and adding a script:
{
"name": "test",
"scripts": {
"start": "node node_modules/module/script.js"
}
}
Usally npm packages are placed in node_modules directory because those modules are supposed to be used as dependencies, not directly.
It depends on the purpose of your application, but maybe you might be interested in doing a post-install script or installing it globally.
npm doc for packages installation.
I use node to write a command-line tool.
this is the index.js.
#!/usr/bin/env node
console.log('qiuyuntao');
this is the package.json
{
"name": "qiu",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
},
"author": "",
"license": "ISC",
"bin": {
"qyt": "index.js"
}
}
After I use command npm link, I can use command qyt anywhere. Now I want to unlink the command, I use npm unlink, it said
npm ERR! gentlyRm containing path /usr/local/lib/node_modules/qiu isn't under npm's control
npm WARN install:qiu#1.0.0 Refusing to delete: /usr/local/bin/qyt not in /usr/local/lib/node_modules/qiu
- qiu#1.0.0 node_modules/qiu
So, what should I do to unlink it?
Without knowing what version of npm you are using and if this is a bug thats being resolved I suspect that your global prefix is misconfigured perhaps.
At any rate the easiest solution is to manually remove the symlinks /usr/local/bin/qyt and /usr/local/lib/node_modules/qiu. If you are using the latest version of npm look into filing an issue, otherwise update (npm i -g npm).
Updating npm 3.9.5 > 4.0.5 fixed the same issue for me
Before update:
$ npm unlink
npm WARN install:#coolman/my-module#1.0.0 Refusing to delete /Users/coolman/.nvm/versions/node/v6.2.0/bin/mymod: ../lib/node_modules/my-module/index-cli.js symlink target is not controlled by npm /Users/coolman/.nvm/versions/node/v6.2.0/lib/node_modules/#coolman/my-module
- #coolman/my-module#1.0.0 node_modules/#coolman/my-module
$ npm --version
3.9.5
After update:
$ sudo npm install npm#latest -g
$ npm --version
4.0.5
$ npm unlink
- #coolman/my-module#1.0.0 node_modules/#coolman/my-module
And to repeat npm link, I needed to manually remove the bin:
$ npm link
