How to resolve rename error during npm install - node.js

I opened the cmd window as administrator and ran npm install on a folder, got this error at one point:
npm ERR! Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, rename 'MyFolder\node_modules\.staging\#angular\common-54da66e9' -> 'MyFolder\node_modules\#angular\common'
npm ERR! at destStatted (C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\lib\install\action\finalize.js:25:7)
npm ERR! at C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\node_modules\graceful-fs\polyfills.js:264:29
npm ERR! at FSReqWrap.oncomplete (fs.js:123:15)
Same seems to work on other machines!
Can someone help me fix this?

I had this problem recently at my work place. In my case what I was doing was, I had the project open in the editor(I use VScode, which is cool:)) and then in the cmd window I was trying to run npm install on the same project folder. I got the same error no matter what I did.
The thing that solved the issue for me is, whenever I try to do npm install I close the editor window in which the project is opened and then run npm install from the cmd window. This works without any issues for me.
By the way I have observed that this is only with windows I guess, on my mac I have never encountered this issue.

After running "npm cache clean", deleting the node_modules folder in the project and then running "npm install" again, fixed this!

working under windows 10 I opened the CMD as an administrator and that fixed my issue.

Use yarn instead of npm. So yarn install should replace npm install.
I was on npm 6.14.5 where it didn't work. It works with yarn 1.22.0.
I believe the problem is some race condition and my guess would be that it is because the Windows filesystem is much slower than the Linux file system, especially if you access the Windows file system through the Linux WSL (so if you access the files under /mnt/c/... ). So somewhere in the execution of npm it deletes files and later in the program it assumes the deletion is complete and that might not always be the case, hence the error.

This question is probably long dead, but if you are using VS Code you can simply open a terminal in VS Code where you want run npm install and it works without issues. Running your app in a terminal outside of VS Code is what causes this, as there is some conflict with having the project folders open in VS Code at the same time. As a general rule, I use the terminal in VS Code for npm install, nodemon, etc. and then run my application in an outside terminal.

I get this sometimes on macOS with current npm version (6.4.1). The way I got it working is by reverting changes to package-lock.json. Basically I just do git checkout package-lock.json, and then npm install works as it should

For me, the problem was that OneDrive was trying to sync the directory I was in. Once I moved the directory to a location that OneDrive does not sync, I was able to run npm install with no errors.

For me the issue was OneDrive sync service. That service was using my folder to upload on server. When I was running npm build command I was getting the error as node couldn't rename the required file as it was already in used by OneDrive. I disabled the service and it worked for me. Hope it helps.

As, one of the answer above says to delete node_module that would take a lot of time if the project is large enough and have many modules, rather than that try npm uninstall then delete the package-json (to avoid any conflict while reinstalling the modules). After that npm install . This worked fine for me.

I tried doing "npm install -g expo-cli" upon which I got a bunch of vulnerabilities. On "npm audit fix" i got the following more errors

So, I've been working in node.js and react native before in Windows 10 without any issues. But ever since I started using this new laptop, with windows 11 in it, I get these annoying errors.
Doing npm install -g npm#8.3.1 gave me the following result
so I did npm audit fix as suggested, on which I was greeted with this:
and so I did npm i --package-lock-only, again, as suggested. Which got me:
IDK what I'm doing wrong. I don't know how it'll affect me. Can someone help me understand this? Thanks!
You can see from the path in your final screenshot that npm is trying to edit your package-lock.json file in the C:\WINDOWS\System32 directory and does not have permission to do that.
You can refer to this answer on how to update your npm configuration to use a folder that you do have permissions to write to.
You have no problem executing React-native even if you do not perform the npm audit fix command
Also, you are not in the right position to do the command. The command must be executed in your project folder.

npm ERR! cb() never called in windows10

I was trying to run npm install inside the project folder but every time there is this error showing npm cb() never called.
I am using node version 10.16.2 and npm version 6.9.0 in windows 10
I have tried npm cache clean --force but that didn't help
E:\contribution\contribute-to-open-source>npm install
npm ERR! cb() never called!
npm ERR! This is an error with npm itself. Please report this error at:
npm ERR! <https://npm.community>
npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR! C:\Users\papun\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache\_logs\2019-08-10T03_51_20_512Z-debug.log
I had the same problems and lost hours trying to solve it :(.
But then i found out that my firm has installed some new kind of firewall with self signed certificate.
Quick solution was:
npm config set strict-ssl=false
After that everything started working without 'npm cb() never called' errors
I had faced the same issue, and i spend days to get a solution for the issue. In the end, i figured it out and it was an issue with my network.
Please verify your network connection and proxy settings.
In my case, I was using corporate proxy using a script. When i opened the pac file and get the proxy from there ( take XXX:XXX from the line return "PROXY XXX:XXX;";) and added to npm config proxy setting (npm config set proxy XXX:XXX), it started working and got resolved.
run this all issue will be solved..
npm install --global windows-build-tools
try to set your proxy using the commands
npm config set proxy http://proxy_host:port
npm config set https-proxy https://proxy_host:port
I have deleted all the node_modules, package-lock.json but still it was not working. For me the reason was, there were some modules that required relogin to install.
So, I deleted my node_modules, build and package-lock.json. and opened command prompt in admin mode.
Then went to the specific project path and logged-in to the components that require credentials.
1. npm login (root path of your react app)
2. type username as "<xxxxx>"
3. type password as "<yyyyy>" (won't be visible on console)
4. type email as "<zzzz>#<aaa>.com"
5. npm i
6. npm run build
It worked for me.
I also faced the same problem I deleted that file from
C:\Users\Harshk1311\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache\_logs
And problem solved
Double Check file name in terminal where error occured and delete file
i.e C:\Users\Harshk1311\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache_logs\2019-08-10T03_51_20_512Z-debug.log
Delete 2019-08-10T03_51_20_512Z-debug.log only this file .
Another possible reason that solved the problem in my case:
Missing MS VC Redistributable. For example if you are on a fresh new PC. In this case you could download the e.g. VC_redist.x64.exe and install it. You may need to restart the terminal before e.g. executing npm i again.
The Visual C++ Redistributable installs Microsoft C and C++ (MSVC) runtime libraries. These libraries are required by many applications built by using Microsoft C and C++ tools.

Windows Fall Creator - can't install using node npm

After installing Windows Fall Creator version 1709 I cannot install anything using npm. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling node. It appears to be a permissions issue. Whenever I try I get
ENOENT
o -4058
all rename
nt ENOENT:
I've tried running using Windows bash and it too errors out with nearly the same message. Any ideas?
Webroot Secure anywhere was broken with Fall Creators and prevented node from running.
See https://community.webroot.com/t5/Product-Releases/Windows-10-Fall-Creator-Update-Bug-Fix/td-p/305469
If it worked before the Fall Creators update, you might just need to update npm and try whatever you wanted to do again.
npm i -g npm
Another thing you might want to try is clearing your package cache with the following command, that sometimes can cause issues on Windows too.
npm cache clear
// or optionally even
npm cache clear -f

Node MODULE_NOT_FOUND

I just upgraded to node version 9.0.0 and am now getting this error in the command line when trying to use npm install
npm ERR! code MODULE_NOT_FOUND
npm ERR! Cannot find module 'internal/util/types'
I'm using:
OSX 10.10.5
Node version 9.0.0
NPM version 5.5.1
Extra information: I am also trying to do this with a Laravel 5.5 project. This is how I update my version of node: How do I update Node.js?
run
rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm
and then re-install Node.js will work in most cases
Leaving this here for anyone using the n nodejs version manager:
$ n 6.12.0 # Go back to a stable release
$ npm install -g npm#latest # Update npm to latest
$ n lts # Get 8.9.1
$ npm install #Should work now.
The MODULE_NOT_FOUND error seems to happen when changing between node versions and some files are possibly still being cached. I am not sure exactly but the above sequence of commands work for me.
When I first got this, I solved just running "npm install" again to make sure everything was installed.
I got similar error also on Windows 8 after I have just upgraded node js. First: how I ran into the issue then the solution that worked for me.
How I ran to the issue:
When I did npm --version and node --version I discovered that I wass running npm v3.x and node 5.x. So I went to nodejs.org site from where I downloaded node-v8.11.3-x64.msi. After installing the msi package I confirmed that my nodejs version was now v8.11.3 via node --version command.
Then, when I ran "npm install http-server" (w/o the quotes) that's when I got the issue:
npm ERR!
node v8.11.3
npm ERR! npm v3.5.3
npm ERR! code MODULE_NOT_FOUND
My resolution:
I did some research including on the internet and found out that the npm version pointed to in my path was the one in my roaming profile C:\Users[myname.hostname]\AppData\Roaming\npm. In other words, the npm being used is not the one in the updated package I have just installed which is located in C:\Program Files\nodejs.
The resolution was to delete npm and npm-cache in the roaming folder. Note, I used cygwin as I was not able to delete these folders via Windows cmd prompt. With cygwin, I navigated to
cd "C:\Users[myname.hostname]\AppData\Roaming"
Then I removed the aforementioned folders like so
rm -rf npm-cache
rm -rf npm
After that, I opened a new Windows cmd prompt and was able to now successfully install http-server like so:
npm install http-server
Hope this works for you.
For me it was package installation issue, so I just write,
npm i or npm install in the root of the application.
to open the terminal in the root of the application, if you're using VS-code right click on the package.json and click on Open in integrated terminal.
I founded this problem too, so I found that I have imported wrong module instead of express module I had imported router module after I had replaced this two my code work as well
If all the above solutions doesn’t work check for any blank spaces in your folder/file where you copied the path
Make sure you are inside the project folder.
Rename the folder "node_modules" to any other name (for example: node_modules_old).
Run command: "npm i" (the command will build new the folder node_modules).
Try running your program again.
If the problem is resolved and your program is running correct, delete the old folder node_modules.
If you are using libraries make sure to install everything with npm or yarn before starting. And in cases of you files if you are going to use them make sure to do the export.module thing everytime.
If you are working with Local modules then don't have node_modules. All things go well in a easy way.
But if you want to work with both local and node_modules then use
.mjs (extension) - For modules
.cjs (extension) - For common scripts which you want to run with node
in which you can use require statements like
var http = require('http');
var fs = require('fs');
but if using .js extension then use
import http from "http"
import fs from "fs"
And also your package.json for type
Haa well, I have spent two days on this and have done everything I can to fix this issue even tried resetting the system but none of them reloved the issue.
And accidentally found out what was causing this issue, it is because of & in my parent folder name. File hierarchy R&D>remix>blog, When I was trying to run the blog server it was throwing module not found, require stack error.
code: ←[32m'MODULE_NOT_FOUND'←[39m,
requireStack: []
Solution: I have changed the parent folder name to RnD and it fixed the issue. If the file name contains any special characters(even parent folders) try updating it. In my case, it is &
The MODULE_NOT_FOUND error happened to me and even running npm install the error persisted.
Try to do this
For me, what worked was deleting the node_modules folder
rm -r -f node_modules/
After that, run the command to install the package.json dependencies
npm install
What happened to me was that when I ran npm install for the first time I had a very low internet connection and therefore I believe that the packages from package.json were not downloaded correctly and due to that the MODULE_NOT_FOUND error occurred. The funny thing is that just running the npm install command has no effect because it understands that the package is already there but it isn't. Similar as a corrupted data. In my case the npm update was without effect too.
If when you are using React And getting this error message. You can use this ,
NPM
npm install #reduxjs/toolkit
Yarn
yarn add #reduxjs/toolkit

npm hangs on postinstall / unlock

I have a Linux server that runs some virtual Machines using KVM. Host machine is a Debian derivate with kernel 2.6.32-32(-pve).
In roughly 75% of the times I run npm install, it hangs while installing modules. I ran it in silly debug level and it always hangs at the line
npm info postinstall [module name] (older npm versions)
or
npm verb unlock done using [...] (newer npm versions)
forever.
It happens in every project on the host machine and on the virtualized systems for every node and every npm version I have tested (a lot, including the newest ones (2.7.x atm)).
It also is not deterministic. Sometimes it works, sometimes not and most of the times it hangs on a different module.
On my dev machine (which is in the same network, running OS X 10.10) it works fine.
I am not behind any kind of proxy.
What could possibly be wrong here?
EDIT: For the time being I solved this problem by checking in all my dependencies as gzipped files using https://github.com/JamieMason/shrinkpack
I was having the same issue for several hours, and couldn't work out what the problem was. I tried re-installing everything a few times, manually installing individual modules, switching from x64 to x86 versions of NodeJS, etc, and got nowhere.
In the end, I changed networks, from WiFi over ADSL2+ [~2mbps] to 4G Hotspot [~20mbps] and it worked in 30 seconds. No idea why, since it didn't seem like a network speed issue, but it solved the problem.
Hope this helps someone else, too!
I had the same problem on our Jenkins slaves based on Ubuntu, and it was solved by upgrading npm.
Default npm installed by apt-get has version 1.3.10 now, which is very old (shown by npm --version). There are at least two ways to upgrade it:
Run sudo npm install -g npm command. If you want to install a specific version you can run append it at the end of command: sudo npm install -g npm#2.1.3.
Or you could add NodeSource repositories using these instructions and run usual sudo apt-get update.
I have the same problem on Windows. I deleted my npm-cache folder and reinstalled npm. Everything started working normally after that.
The npm-cache folder can be found at
<your-drive>\Users\<your-name>\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache
Remember to turn on 'View hidden files because the AppData folder by default is hidden
You can reinstall npm by using the command,
npm i npm -g
On Windows make sure you are in a native CMD (not in VSCODE or whatever IDE). Also, try increasing the max memory limit for node:
set NODE_OPTIONS=--max_old_space_size=8096
I did the same, switched my network from WiFi to 3G and it worked.
I'm experiencing the same problem, this is the issue on Github:
https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/7862
There are some useful tips that seemed to help a few people.
For me doing $ npm install -g node-gyp (as suggested here: http://gangmax.me/blog/2013/05/13/resolve-npm-update-node-gyp-hung-problem/) fixed the problem.
I had the same problem and just run
npm cache clean
And it works!
Had this same problem in Windows. The solution was to restart after installing node and npm and then run command prompt as administrator.
In my case, a system restart did the work.
I ran npm install --verbose which suggested some lock on a file in npm-cache. And I think the system released the file (which was under use) after the system restart. I am using windows.
Try cloning the project again and then run npm install to install the packages in your terminal.
I ran into this with npm v6, and it turned out I was just being impatient. I just needed to wait a little longer and it proceeded to the next step.
npm cache clean --force
works for me :)
=> this method working with me When npm block in installation Package for IONIC installation and ReactNative and another package npm.
you can change temporary :
npm config set prefix C:\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules2
change the Path in Environment Variables set C:\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules2
Run the your command to install your package .
open file explorer copy the link C:\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules
ok file yourpackage.CMD created another folder Created "node_modules2" in node_modules and contain your package folder.
copy your package file CMD to parent folder "npm"
copy your package folder to parent folder "node_modules"
now run npm config set prefix C:\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\npm
change the Path in Environment Variables set C:\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\npm
now package working correctly with Command line
