I open cmd and type:
npm -v
Then i got following error:
module.js:457
throw err;

Every command start with "npm" create this error and npm cannot uninstall, update itself)
Please help me fix this error?
update your npm
$ npm install npm -g
I would try to update/install NPM
$ npm update -g npm
I know the answer!
Uninstall nodejs.
Delete all references to npm and nodejs (Program Files, Program Files(x86).
Then also delete those in AppData/Roaming (npm and npm-cache to be sure).
Reinstall nodejs.
It works!

Just did a minor npm update to the latest version (I can't remember what it was as npm no longer works - hence the question) but I think my installed version before the update was 5.6.0. That could be wrong though.
Anyway after running...
sudo npm install -g npm
... npm no longer works at all. Anything I do results in :
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:596
throw err;

After trying a few different things including reinstalling node via brew the only thing that worked was to download and run the node installer binary from the node site.
Hope it helps somebody else.
I fixed this issue this way:
yarn global add npm
I have an Ubuntu box with node - v 9.5.0 and npm - 5.6.0 versions. I am trying to use expressjs (http://expressjs.com), but unable to run it. It works fine for node v 4.x.x.
$ express -h

What is it that I am missing here?
Ubuntu's packages seem to be outdated.
Installing using apt-get node-express-generator gives this error.
Installing using npm i -g express-generator works fine.
Please try to follow the preceding steps.
Install the current version of NodeJS
Uninstall all modules with npm uninstall and rm -fr ~/.npm
Reinstall express-generator
Hope it helps.
I'm a beginner in linux and npm in general, at first I screwed my npm installation by doing this :
npm conig set prefix usr/bin/env
I really don't know what I was really doing here, but then I got an EExist error whenever I run npm .
I decided to remove npm and node via :
sudo apt-get remove npm
sudo apt-get remove node
And the reinstalled them normally via the apt-get command . I had the same error, so I did a very immature thing and I deleted all folder containing the word npm, and more importantly npmlog, uninstlled and reinstalled node and npm via apt .
Now I'm having this error that I couldn't fix whenevr I use the npm command .
module.js:340

I tried reinstalling, removing other npm folders in node_modules, but none of those techniques worked for me, please how can I fix this ?
I've just installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu 15.10, node 4.2.2 and npm 2.14.7 (with nvm) on a new machine. I have installed webpack and webpack-dev-server globally and installed my project dependencies with npm i.
Now when I try to run my node server I get the following errors:
module.js:339
throw err;

Any suggestions please?
Node.js searches for modules in the ./node_modules/ directory in the path where the program is.
For example if you script is here /home/user/scripts/somescript.js you should have /home/user/scripts/node_modules/.
Just do npm install errno in here /home/user/scripts/.
It seems that something had gone wrong with my npm install and my project dependencies were only partly installed. Just running npm install again didn't fix it. I did an npm cache clean, removed my node_modules directory and then ran npm install again. The problem was then resolved.
I cant seem to ran any commands against > npm including > npm help ,> npm uninstall or > npm upgrade
the full error is
module.js:339
throw err;

Tried reinstalling and running 'npm cache clean' but even that didn't work, so here's my solution:
Delete all files from, you may want to backup the files first but those are corrupted anyway.
<user profile directory>\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules
and then try running npm command, if this works then there's no need to reinstall, just install npm modules using
npm install -g <package names>
Otherwise uninstall node.js, empty above stated folder and then install node.js.
Don't forget to update npm
npm install npm#latest -g
