Answer 1

In the directory folder, issue the following command:
npm update

Answer 2

Remove npm and reinstall it
And run:
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/{lib/node{,/.npm,_modules},bin,share/man}/npm*

Answer 3

Seeing what is requested in the Users folder, it seems that it should be installed as a global package.
Check and install each required package.
npm i -g json-parse-helpfulerror

Answer 4

You must uninstall nodejs and npm packages.
after first, you must install npm.
and you should install "npm install --save json-parse-better-errors"
Finally you can run your project
https://www.npmjs.com/package/json-parse-better-errors

Answer 5

I fixed it by removing the node_modules folder and reinstalling it again. To remove the folder, go to your project folder and run $ rm -rf node_modules and then reinstall your packages using your preferred package manager, either npm i or yarn install.
