I have an Ubuntu box with node - v 9.5.0 and npm - 5.6.0 versions. I am trying to use expressjs (http://expressjs.com), but unable to run it. It works fine for node v 4.x.x.
$ express -h
module.js:557
throw err;

What is it that I am missing here?
Ubuntu's packages seem to be outdated.
Installing using apt-get node-express-generator gives this error.
Installing using npm i -g express-generator works fine.
Please try to follow the preceding steps.
Install the current version of NodeJS
Uninstall all modules with npm uninstall and rm -fr ~/.npm
Reinstall express-generator
Hope it helps.

Just did a minor npm update to the latest version (I can't remember what it was as npm no longer works - hence the question) but I think my installed version before the update was 5.6.0. That could be wrong though.
Anyway after running...
sudo npm install -g npm
... npm no longer works at all. Anything I do results in :
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:596

After trying a few different things including reinstalling node via brew the only thing that worked was to download and run the node installer binary from the node site.
Hope it helps somebody else.
I fixed this issue this way:
yarn global add npm
I was using npm few days ago and all worked fine, but I'm suddenly getting an error when trying to do any npm command.

I can't do any npm command, even npm -v show this error, node version is 8.0.0
I'm using latest version of macOS
One of the problems is that I didn't install node using homebrow so uninstalling and installing it again is the last solution for me.
Any help with this?
When on a Mac, use nvm to install node, and switch node versions.
Also can nicely reinstall packages when upgrading versions. nvm install 6 --reinstall-packages-from=5
This is better than homebrew, which I would not suggest for Node on a Mac.
I just installed nodejs x64 on my Windows 10 computer. I keep all default config,
I open cmd and type:
npm -v
Then i got following error:

Every command start with "npm" create this error and npm cannot uninstall, update itself)
Please help me fix this error?
update your npm
$ npm install npm -g
I would try to update/install NPM
$ npm update -g npm
I know the answer!
Uninstall nodejs.
Delete all references to npm and nodejs (Program Files, Program Files(x86).
Then also delete those in AppData/Roaming (npm and npm-cache to be sure).
Reinstall nodejs.
It works!

npm cache clean
npm uninstall -g cordova ionic
npm install -g cordova ionic
Use sudo if you are on a mac or a linux.
are you sure you're in the project directory? As in assuming you created your app on the desktop, are you sure you're not in C://Users/username/Desktop instead of C://Users/username/Desktop/myApp ?
I have been struggling with getting flux/react to work properly and thought that my npm, node or gulp versions were to old.
So I updated everything to the latest version and now I get the following error when i run gulp in ALL my projects:

I have:
Uninstalled node and gulp through npm.
Uninstalled npm.
Installed node and npm via https://nodejs.org/en/
Installed gulp through npm
And it's still not working..
Anyone have any ideas?
As #keithRousseau pointed out, when I reinstalled the packages I forgot to install them with the parameter -g to install them as global packages.
Reinstalled them with -g and now it works!
