NPM Install fails - fsevents - node.js

I'm unable to get npm installed correctly in my laravel project. I'm running laravel on a vagrant box (ubuntu-trusty-64). When I run 'npm install' I get the first error in my pastebin (linked below). I then found somewhere below that I should run it without symlinks when using a vagrant box on a windows host os so I then ran 'npm install --no-bin-links' and I was still getting the first error. So then with some help I ran 'rm -rf node_modules' then ran the 'npm install --no-bin-links' and it appears to work but hangs see second half of the pastebin.
Please help!
pastebin: https://pastebin.com/wuRkjqi6
Update:
Just to update everyone on the status, I completely removed npm and reinstalled it following:
https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions
for node.js 8
I then ran 'sudo npm install --no-bin-links --verbose' directly from the host vm via virtualbox bypassing the vagrant ssh; but it still bombs out on me; this time with an error. but still surrounding fsevents.

Lastly I tried rebuilding the vagrant box from scratch this morning and when I re-ran 'sudo npm install --no-bin-links --verbose' from the virtualbox host I get the following:

I removed the standard dependencies from the default laravel 5.4 package.json file. I then installed each one, one by one. I found that my issue only occurs when installing the "laravel-mix": "^1.0" dependency line.

I was able to overcome my issue by ditching npm and utilizing yarn. Seems to get past the fsevents module as reading it as an optional dependency. Given what I've researched it appears that fsevents isn't supported on linux anyways.

Done in 67.15s.

npm install --no-optional helped me, but it is merely dodging the problem.

Using vagrant I was able to get around this by removing --node-bin-links and running my vagrant box as admin. I'm using roughly the same versions of node and npm.

Try cleaning the cache with the command npm cache clean --force and retry your npm install.
"npm cache clean --force"
"npm cache verify"
following steps helped me!! :-)
if problem still persist : "npm i npm"
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.
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
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
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
npm install --cache /tmp/empty-cache
This is what worked for me
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
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. :-)

What is npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE?

I've gotten this same error on two different npm packages and haven't seemed to be able to figure it out. I've checked this answer and I don't have any other servers running. I've also tried deleting my module_packages folder, cleaning npm cache clean and then reinstalling using npm i as many threads have suggested, but I still get the same error.

Any ideas on what might be causing the error would be helpful.
I have good and bad news for you. The good news first: Everythings fine with your computer.
The bad news: The module you would like to install is incompatible with windows operating systems. Have a look at the first line of your error message:
Unable to download libstorj for platform: win32 and arch: x64
There is already an open issue for this problem on GitHub, see: https://github.com/Storj/node-libstorj/issues/43
As mentioned in this issue there are multiple problems:
download/unzip not working
not compiling because some linux-only functions being used (access function)
not linking (it seems nettle and some other link fails)
So you have two options: Wait until this issue gets fixed - or - switch your operating system ;-)
I was getting a "code ELIFECYCLE" error trying to run "usemin" and "imagemin" node-modules via script entries in package.json. These script entries were given in a Coursera "Full Stack Developer" course:
"imagemin": "imagemin img/* -o dist/img/ &&
"usemin": "usemin index.html -d dist -o dist/index.html",
The first line should have read:
"imagemin": "imagemin --out-dir=dist/img/ img/**/*.{png,jpg,git}"
And the issue with usemin giving a "code ELIFECYLE" error was finally traced to the fact that I had installed the API version ("npm install usemin") rather than the cli version ("npm install usemin-cli).
Hope the above helps some other nubbie avoid what now look like an obvious pair of mistakes!

npm syscall symlink error -95 when installing node-sass on Docker for Windows

In my application I have a dependency
"sass-loader": "^3.1.1"
I first ran a npm install directly from Windows, but when I tried to run the application it didn't work because the node version is different or something. So it told me to run:
npm rebuild node-sass
I tried to run it from within the container, but then I got an error
npm ERR! code ENOTSUP
npm ERR! errno -95
npm ERR! syscall symlink
npm ERR! nospc ENOTSUP: operation not supported on socket, symlink '../node-sass/bin/node-sass' -> '/usr/src/app/node_modules/.bin/node-sass'
How can I fix this? Is there a way to get around this error and install node-sass?
Currently using:
Windows 10 Pro
Docker 1.11.1-beta10 (build: 2446)
Run the command again with the parameter -no-bin-links
npm rebuild node-sass -no-bin-links
bin-links from NPM docs:
Set to false to have it not do this. This can be used to work around the fact that some file systems don't support symlinks, even on ostensibly Unix systems.

I have a fresh installation of laravel 5.1. I followed these steps to Set up Elixir, Bootstrap, Font-awesome etc. When I run npm install it throws an error. I also tried using npm install --no-bin-links as the laravel elixir documentation suggests.

I searched for the file (that exists) in the npm-cache directory and found there are no such file. But, when I execute the npm command it is created along with hundreds of LOCK file. I tried to delete the file during the installation process (which is quite tricky and seems impossible, because there are a lot of files created and removed simultaneously), which didn't help much. The error is not always the same. Most of the time it says 837c67b9-adable-stream-1-0-
33-package-tgz.lock file exists, some times it's just some other LOCK file.
I also tried updating npm to the latest release: npm -g install npm#latest (sauce)
What helped me on Win 8.1:
Install newest version of Python (3.5 at the moment) and make sure it's on your path (open some command line tool like power shell and enter 'py --version').
npm cache clear
In the laravel installation folder run: npm install --no-bin-links
I was also running power shell as an administrator when issuing the commands, but I'm not sure it matters (won't hurt in this case though).
I faced the same problem and run the terminal as administrator and it solved the problem.
I am not sure about you but issue but now the gulp is working :)

nodejs npm package | npm link issue

I am trying to make a npm package (plugin) to install the little JS framework through node, have come up with the required package.json as well.
After running the npm link command on Mac terminal, got to see the following errors.

Looks like I am close to it :)
Permissions you used when installing Node will be required when doing things like writing in your npm directory (npm link, npm install -g, etc.).
You probably ran node installation with root permissions, that's why the global package installation is asking you to be root.
Solution 1: NVM
Don't hack with permissions, install node the right way.
On a development machine, you should not install and run node with root permissions, otherwise things like npm link, npm install -g will need the same permissions.
NVM (Node Version Manager) allows you to install Node without root permissions and also allows you to install many versions of Node to play easily with them.. Perfect for development.
Uninstall Node (root permission will probably be required).
To remove all previously installed npm global modules, see those answers.
Then install NVM following instructions on this page.
Install Node via NVM: nvm install stable
Now npm link, npm install -g will no longer require you to be root.
Solution 2: Install packages globally for a given user
Don't hack with permissions, install npm packages globally the right way.
If you are on OSX or Linux, you can create a user dedicated directory for your global package and setup npm and node to know how to find globally installed packages.
Check out this great article for step by step instructions on installing npm modules globally without sudo.
See also: npm's documentation on Fixing npm permissions.
The easiest way to solve this would be to run the same command again using sudo:
sudo npm link
Please don't change the owner of the /usr/local directory, as this might a) have further implications on installed application and b) might compromise the security on your system. Using sudo is the right way to solve this.
This can be fixed in linux or in my case WSL by setting the global package directory to be in user space rather than root.
First create a dir for global packages
mkdir ~/.npm-packages
Then tell npm where to store globally installed packages
npm config set prefix ~/.npm-packages
Finally ensure npm will find installed binaries and man pages by adding the following to your .bashrc/.zshrc:
NPM_PACKAGES=~/.npm-packages
export PATH="$PATH:$NPM_PACKAGES/bin"
# Preserve MANPATH if you already defined it somewhere in your config.
# Otherwise, fall back to `manpath` so we can inherit from `/etc/manpath`.
export MANPATH="${MANPATH-$(manpath)}:$NPM_PACKAGES/share/man"
