I have node.js installed via nvm, i have several versions and for some reason npm doesn't work on any of them. The versions are 4.5.0, 5.8.0 and 6.5.0 with their corresponding npm versions which i can't get because when i type npm -v
$ npm -v
[TypeError: Cannot read property 'readFileSync' of undefined]
And if i try to npm install on any project i get something similar to this (varies a little bit from project to project)
$ npm install

I've tried uninstalling nvm and reinstalling it, also removing it completely and then getting a fresh install of node and npm (not via nvm) from their website, but i get the same result. I rebooted my machine just in case but no luck.
I haven't been able to find something helpful on google or here, or maybe I'm missing something.
In any case its like the fs module is not available to npm when it runs, it was working correctly a couple of days ago.
Thanks in advance for any help :)
In this particular case, doing a full scan for rootkits, spywares, virus, etc with different software's and cleaning what was found solved the issue. Not sure specifically what caused it but it was due to a program of that nature.

I am getting this really annoying error that doesn't even tell me what's wrong with npm. I tried deleting and installing node.js again and running the command npm install but I would still get the error. I even tried running a command to use the latest version of npm and it still wouldn't work (npm install -g npm-windows-upgrade & npm-windows-upgrade).
It seems like npm is just being very buggy and doesn't want to work. Help please.
Based on this very similar issue, you really shouldn't be using npm 3.x with Node 14.
You might want to uninstall Node, ensure there are no traces of Node or npm on your system, then reinstall Node 14 or 16.
They automatically install newer versions of npm (6 or newer).
Also, the npm-windows-upgrade package you mention hasn't been updated in 3 years. Maybe don't use it?
You are definitely not running the latest version of the tools. NPM is in v7 and Node.js is in v16. Uninstall what you have currently installed, and download the latest version (make sure to choose Current not LTS) to install the latest version. Here is the link
I'd switch to a package manager specifically for managing different versions of Node + NPM side-by-side on your machine, which saves you the hassle of having to have 1 global installation that just "has to work" for all your projects.
Linux has nvm (node version manager). Since you're on Windows, you might want to check out the Windows-"fork": https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows.
It should prevent incompatible versions of node and npm being installed together.
A little background: I have a Windows 10 laptop with 8.3 gigs of usable space(6.3 gigs are python, so 2 gigs of usable space), so I install and download everything onto an external hard drive. Unfortunately, my previous external hard drive started malfunctioning and physically falling apart after less than 6 months, so I've been in the process of moving files and reinstalling programs to my new hard drive. Recently I joined a MOOC that asked me to download Node JS and install browsersync on it.
I installed Node JS and tested it and npm with -version, and both were installed. I closed and reopened the cmd. However, when I ran npm install -g browser-sync it gave me the following: cmd errors
The first error is due to a typo, but the second error is the real one.
Here is the true error in text:

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, googled it a bunch of times, and just ended up wasting 2 hours. I think it has something to do with my cmd is in my computer drive but node.js is on my hard drive. So I've turned here for help.
Thanks in advance!
First i installed nodemailer then it shown did n't configure correctly.After that i updated it up-to nodemailer 0.7.1 then it shown can't find mimelib module.Then i try to re-install nodemailer again then i show below error.why is that ..? when i try to install another library.It may occur.

I tried using sudo key word and try to install globally and updated all the packages but it does n't helpful.still same.
I think your issue is the version of node you're using is too old.
I had this issue and used n to run multiple versions of node.

I am developing my Meteor application on a Windows 7 machine and from what I have been able to gather from posts on forums, the error seems to be related to that fact (interaction between npm and Windows - I did not find any posts describing the same problem on Linux machines).
I've already tried installing the latest Python version and MS Visual Studio 2013 as suggested here: https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-gyp#installation, as well as setting some environment variables as suggested here: https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/2754. But none of those helped.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
As I described in this comment, this seems to be an issue with the Python path being set incorrectly for npm, as Meteor's distribution of npm isn't hooking it up correctly. Most Linux distros come with Python, but Windows doesn't, so it is correlated with running Windows.
It can be fixed by making sure that Python is installed, then running the following command:
npm config set python C:\Python27\python.exe
The use of an old libxmljs is because mizzao:turkserver is dependent on a relatively old node MTurk API, which I'd like to wean it off of at some point, but isn't such a high priority at the moment.

if your workflow does not involve global npm installs, etc, one approach is to simply use the node.exe executable as a stand-alone -- just grab the version you need from nodejs.org/dist and drop it into the working directory for a particular project. (Node.exe can run without actually 'installing' anything onto the system.)
then you could then specify the version of packages that you need for that version of node.exe like so: npm install foo#0.1.1.
