const INLINE = 'inline'; with npm related commands - node.js

Today I was trying to work on Angular2 (template https://akveo.github.io). As per installation guide, I ran following commands.
I have installed Node.js v6.9.1.
npm install --Worked fine.
npm server --Failed with below error.
E:\........\node_modules\script-ext-html-webpack-plugin\index.js:3
const INLINE = 'inline';
^^^^^
SyntaxError: Use of const in strict mode.
at exports.runInThisContext (vm.js:73:16)
at Module._compile (module.js:443:25)
After many random searches and failing to resolve it, I decided to think about it with a calm head. To me it looks like it is a problem with ES2015/ES6. Package script-ext-html-webpack-plugin uses const variable which is a ES2016 feature. However system is unable to resolve it.
Also this problem can come with any package like hapi, selinium etc. But everything should have same solution I guess.
I have tried many related commands on the installation guide of the website mentioned above but nothing works and ends with same error. I have also many have faced same issue online but nothing concrete is visible as answer.
Could anyone help me out?

Update
Below approach has also fixed many of my colleague's machine who were facing some random errors with nodejs.
This problem is resolved in at least my machine. I am certainly not a person who understand nodejs completely but got it working after some googling. The solution given below may be common to many other issues I guess.
The system I am working has Windows 10 as Operating System and has 64 bit processor.
Go to control panel and uninstall nodejs (just to make sure you do not have traces of any previous install).
Install latest version of nodejs from their website (I installed v6.9.1 for 64 bit processor).
Go to Environment variables for system (just type environmental variables in start menu if using Windows 10) and edit the Path. Delete ‘C:/Program Files (x86)/nodejs’ (as I had installed 64 bit nodejs). This ensures when using command you do not use any other previously installed nodejs.
Start command prompt in Admin mode and navigate to your project and run npm install.
In case you get any/some error, then run npm info graceful-fs -v or npm info graceful-fs whichever runs in your machine.
Then run npm update -g npm.
Then run npm install again and this time it should work.
Run npm start and everything should work fine.
On running website, sometimes we see any other issue and that can be seen from console logs. But good thing is, console logs also tell you the problem. In most cases its related to 32 bit and 64 bit processor due to our recent changes. In my case, I was facing issue with SASS configuration due to 32/64 bit machine and console log asked me to run npm rebuild node-sass to fix the issue.
Go back to command prompt, hit Ctrl+C to stop npm server. Run node rebuild node-sass. Run npm start again and everything should be working.
Hope it helps.

#tensorflow/tfjs-node: sudden craving for aws-sdk, nock, mock-aws-s3

System information
OS Platform and Distribution (e.g., Linux Ubuntu 16.04): macOS Ventura 13.2.1
TensorFlow.js installed from (npm or script link): npm
TensorFlow.js version: 4.2.0
Describe the problem
I had previously used the #tensorflow/tfjs-node library successfully with no issues. Now, however, I have changed environments and unfortunately I am running into issues. I don't have the original source code any more to compare to see what the difference is.
I am running under node v18.4.0, although I have tried v16.16.0 and v14.21.2 (using nvm on macOS).
The problem is now it seems the library wants all sorts of supporting modules, which are not installed:
aws-sdk
nock
mock-aws-s3
It will not build without these, so I npm i them and then it builds happily.
So first question: why might my environment now be needing these where it didn't need them before? What might be different? As I say, sadly I don't have the last environment around any more.
Having built this, I now receive the error:
Error: #package/learn package.json is not node-pre-gyp ready:
package.json must declare these properties:
binary
Although I could configure all this, I think it is the wrong thing to do, since I had it up and running previously without any of this. Is where are these issues now coming from?
Can I run the #tensorflow/tfjs-node without installing or needing those three dependencies? I can provide the other config if it is not apparent to someone who has had the same issue.

Why does my computer keep forgetting node and npm installation?

My computer keeps forgetting that I have node installed despite the fact that all of the files are still there. So far, I have tried installing through the node installer on the nodejs website, using brew, using nvm, and also several of the suggestions in this gist. No matter what I try, within a couple of hours or a couple of days, I am working away and then I am suddenly throwing node errors, and when I check node -v or npm -v, I get the error command not found: node or command not found: npm. The only thing that I can figure out to get node working again is to uninstall whatever I most recently tried and then to reinstall.
It seems like I might be having some sort of env or path issue, but I don't know where to begin to start troubleshooting anything like that.
EDIT
Based on the suggestion below, I added these to my .bash_profile and it seems to have fixed my issue. Not sure why the install wasn't adding them here or in .bashrc, but adding it manually fixed the issue:
export PATH="$HOME/.npm-packages/bin:$PATH"
export PATH="$HOME/.node_modules/bin:$PATH"
maybe you forgot to add node & npm binaries to your path that's why when you open a new instance of your terminal it says that it doesn't know node and npm
Simply add the line that register the binaries into your path within your .profile file that might be located in your home directory

How to resolve bycrypt dependency issue in module.

I keep getting this issue:
[snip of my issue][1]
I'm teaching myself node and am trying to make a CRUD RESTful application in my spare time. I'm working off this book:
https://leanpub.com/mean-machine.
For the past 3 days I've been stuck with this issue. It is specifically concerning the bcrypt-node.js . It's job is to hash passwords. Some things I have tried.
Downloaded python 3.5 as I got errors saying the runtime was needed to execute.
Setting python environment variable in PATH
npm uninstall and install.
Tried creating a new project, same issues cropped up.
npm clear cache
Since it is an old version of the bcrypt-node.js module changed the version in package.json from "0.0.3" to "0.0.5". I thought it could be a bug. Unlikely as that is.
I'm very new to node.js so I feel like I'm doing something silly that I just cannot see. Also I don't understand a lot of the information the command line is providing me. Thank you in advance.
EDIT 1:
Picture of my code.
Edit. (For future visitors) I needed to pay more attention to the various dependencies and a further understanding of JS in general to utitlise the power of Node.js, which is something I didn't do. Also recommended is a good understanding of Express.
A deeper understand of the npm is needed.
I found a fix through trial and error and some googling.
In case any one looks up this again in the future I entered:
npm install node-gyp -g && npm cache clean && rm -rf node_modules && npm installinto the command line and it appeared to fix the issue when I ran nodemon server.js
Fingers crossed it does not crop up again.
If someone would like to explain to me what exactly was the problem I had I would really appreciate it. I have a feeling a module or dependency wasn't installed correctly?
EDIT 1. Furthermore configure the PATH in your environment variables.
ie I created a path for python in the command line
PATH python = C:\Python27\python.exe & another PATH for MongoDB
i.e C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.2\bin

PhantomJS from Node on Windows

I have written a Electron application using Node, Electron Boilerplate, and phantom. It works perfectly fine for me on my linux machine, I copied the source over to Windows 10, and ran with npm start, and all goes smoothly.
However, when I try to build the application with the boilerplate module using npm run release, things go a little less smoothly. I can install and open the application just fine, but when I click the button that activates the phantom module, the windows goes all white and nothing happens. I was able to logs some errors with the dev tools.
First, I have:
C:\...\dist\win-unpacked\resources\app.asar\node_modules\phantom\lib\phantom.js:361
Uncaught (in promise) Error: Error reading from stdin: Error: write EPIPE(…)
I did some research into similar issues, namely here, and it seems to me the issue is starting the child process, PhantomJS, with the npm module phantom. Originally, I was using a WPF application I wrote in C# to start the process, and that worked just fine. This leads me to believe that the phantom module is the culprit.
So I tried swapping out the npm phantom module for horseman, but got similar results:
Unhandled rejection HeadlessError: Phantom immediately exited with: 4294967295
at ChildProcess.immediateExit (C:\...\dist\win-unpacked\resources\app.asar\node_modules\node-horseman\node_modules\node-phantom-simple\node-phantom-simple.js:153:23)
at ChildProcess.g (events.js:286:16)
at emitTwo (events.js:106:13)
at ChildProcess.emit (events.js:191:7)
at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:204:12)
Here is a shot in the dark. I am not positive this will solve your issue but here it goes:
GYP and miss-matched binaries
Phantom and many other node modules use binaries built for the specific OS that it will be running on. Sometimes in your npm log files you will see references to node-gyp. Node-gyp simply helps to build native add-on's in node modules. When the binaries are built they are usually built against, among others, three main parameters, the operating system, cpu architecture and version of node that is doing the installation.
I think you need to rebuild phantomjs to the version of node Electron is using. Most of the time the node version you have installed on your machine and the node version running in Electron are not the same. Electron does its best to keep up, but there is always a little lag because of the amount of work and testing required to keep up-to-date.
When you install phantom by running npm install phantom it will assume it needs to install or build the binaries for the node version your machine is using. Then when your Electron app tries to run phantom it tries to call the binary of the Electron's node version. When it isn't there the child process immediately exits with an error.
How to fix
Luckily, there are other people out there that have figured out how to fix this issue and have created a great tool to help generate the correct binaries.
Enter electron-rebuild:
https://github.com/electron/electron-rebuild
Electron-rebuild can be run in the command line, and it will rebuild all of your native modules to the version of Electron your project is using.
To install:
npm install electron-prebuilt
To use (in Windows):
.\node_modules\.bin\electron-rebuild.cmd
This should be enough to put the correct binaries in the right place.
Other thoughts
Sometimes you can use a package that uses a dependency called node-pre-gyp. E.g. sqlite3. There is a known issue I ended up running into when trying to rebuild my packages for Electron. Basically, in order to avoid this issue (if you run into it) just append --pre-gyp-fix to the above command.
Tangent for those who run into the pre-gyp-fix issue
One more thing on the pre-gyp-fix: If one or more of your dependencies depends on one of the modules that need the pre-gyp-fix then they will be looking for the binary in the wrong place even if they are running in Electron. All of the pre-gyp binaries are stored in a folder similar to this:
.\node_modules\sqlite3\lib\binding
In my current project I have three folders here, one for Electron-v1.4, and two for node-v46 and node-v50. (hack alert) In order to have sqlite3 work with my other dependencies I copy the binary found in the Electron-v1.4 folder and put it in both node-v* folders. That way when running in Electron, all dependencies are running the correct binaries even though they are looking for them in the wrong place. (end hack alert)
Conclusion
There is no way I can be sure this has anything to do with the issue you are seeing. But it is worth a shot to see if it fixes your problem. If not then at least I hope I can help someone else experiencing the same issues I ran into.

Cannot find module 'assetmanager'

I'm trying to run the MEAN stack on windows. I've installed all the pre-requisites (I think) but when I try to start the server via the gulp command I get the error:
Error: Cannot find module 'assetmanager'.
IMAGE:
I have tried running npm install assetmanager which run fine but I still get this error.
This is my first time trying to run node on a machine (I should have used a linux box) so go easy on me as I am learning :-).
Any and all help appreciated.
David
I had exactly the same problem on Linux Mint 17.2.
The failing way: This was my first project that I'd generated and I don't think I had all the dependencies installed before I ran the init command (g++ was missing).
I tried the npm install assetmanager command as you did and then install worked. Running gulp after this, it got further but this time I was missing mongoose. I installed that then it couldn't find .../config/env/all so I sylinked the default.js config. Then running gulp again, errorhandler was missing. I figured it shouldn't be this hard so...
The working way: I deleted that failure of a project and init'd a new one and it worked. Unfortunately I'm not sure if the init didn't work the first time but I missed the error/warning or something else caused it. All I can recommend is try creating another project and see if that works.
