I try to install node js npm packages, but It start to install and unfortunately freezes. I also try to install angular packages and it doesn't any problem. please help to fix this issue.
node version is 12.13.1;
npm version is 6.12.1;
I tried to install packages this way
npm i html-to-xlsx
here is a result:
another installation result:
Try the following commands then re-run the command:
npm cache clean --force
npm cache verify
And make sure you are in a place with good internet connection. Sometimes this is the issue.
I found way to fix this issue. I add -g before package name
npm install -g html-to-xlsx
Everything looks good
After that I enter this path C:\Users{USERNAME}\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules and copy needful module into my working folder
I have installed MEAN IO a few times. Everytime I get it installed I can usually get one project going and then things just stop working. For example I have one project going. But then when I go to create a new project now it says commands are not found
gulp
mean init myApp
bower
So I installed with the installer at https://nodejs.org/en/
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:~/bin:$PATH"
I have node_modules at
usr/local/lib/node_modules
But I also have packages at
/usr/local/bin/
Either way I cant get these commands to run... Any ideas how I can get things setup and solid?
Try installing mean-cli, bower and gulp globally, like so:

I'm new to node and using npm to both do some node, angular and Express tutorials. I have used bower before in a tutorial. I'm pretty sure I have installed it using -g already as when i run the bower -v command I get back 1.3.3 I am to understand that installing it using -g means, Install this globally so that on the next project I don't have to install it again.
1) Is this correct?
2) When I start working with a new project do I have to initialize bower?
3) Is there any reason I should use install bower --save-dev after I have already installed bower (-g)lobally?
4) What exactly does install bower --save-dev do?
I have searched and get nothing on google or stack over flow when I search "--save-dev".
I really want to understand this and if you help me, it will help me understand installing much more than just bower and how to use those installs. Again, I'm new to the command line for this type of development and new to these technologies, but have some basic understanding.
Using the --save and --save-dev flags when installing will add them to the project's package.json. This allows anyone who might develop on or use the project to install the dependencies as needed with a simple npm install command. By contrast, the -g flag is global only to your local machine.
On Windows 7, I've installed gulp as explained here: http://markgoodyear.com/2014/01/getting-started-with-gulp/:
npm install gulp -g
In my app folder: npm install gulp --save-dev
I create a gulpfile.js file.
But then, when I try to run gulp, I get this error message:
module.js:340
throw err;
^
Error: cannot file module 'gulp-util'
at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:338:15)
etc.
But gulp-util is present (in the local app folder) in:
node_modules
gulp
node_modules
gulp-util
Any idea what may be the cause?
UPDATE
From later versions, there is no need to manually install gulp-util.
Check the new getting started page.
If you still hit this problem try reinstalling your project's local packages:
rm -rf node_modules/
npm install
OUTDATED ANSWER
You also need to install gulp-util:
npm install gulp-util --save-dev
From gulp docs- getting started (3.5):
Install gulp and gulp-util in your project devDependencies
If you have a package.json, you can install all the current project dependencies using:
npm install
Any answer didn't help in my case.
What eventually helped was removing bower and gulp (I use both of them in my project):
npm remove -g bower
npm remove -g gulp
After that I installed them again:
npm install -g bower
npm install -g gulp
Now it works just fine.

I tried all the solutions on this board to date. Even though I read above in the accepted answer that "From later versions, there is no need to manually install gulp-util.", it was the thing that worked for me. (...maybe bc I'm on Ubuntu? I don't know. )
To recap, I kept getting the "cannot find module 'gulp-util'" error when just checking to see if gulp was installed by running:
gulp --version
...again, the 'gulp-util' error kept appearing...
So, I followed the npm install [package name] advice listed above, but ended up getting several other packages that needed to be installed as well. And one had a issue of already existing, and i wasn't sure how to replace it. ...I will put all the packages/install commands that I had to use here, just as reference in case someone else experiences this problem:
sudo npm install -g gulp-util
(then I got an error for 'pretty-hrtime' so I added that, and then the others as Error: Cannot find module ___ kept popping up after each gulp --version check. ...so I just kept installing each one.)
sudo npm install -g pretty-hrtime
sudo npm install -g chalk
sudo npm install -g semver --force
(without --force, on my system I got an error: "EEXIST: file already exists, symlink". --force is not recommended, but idk any other way. )
sudo npm install -g archy
sudo npm install -g liftoff
sudo npm install -g tildify
sudo npm install -g interpret
sudo npm install -g v8flags
sudo npm install -g minimist
And now gulp --version is finally showing:
CLI version 3.9.1
Local version 3.9.1
Try to install the missing module.
npm install 'module-name'
Same issue here and whatever I tried after searching around, did not work. Until I saw a remark somewhere about global or local installs. Looking in:
C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\npm\gulp
I indeed found an outdated version. So I reinstalled gulp with:
npm install gulp --global
That magically solved my problem.
You should install these as devDependencies:
- gulp-util
- gulp-load-plugins
Then, you can use them either this way:
var plugins = require('gulp-load-plugins')();
Use gulp-util as : plugins.util()
or this:
var util = require('gulp-util')
This will solve all gulp problem
sudo npm install gulp && sudo npm install --save del && sudo gulp build
None of the other answers listed here-- at least by themselves-- solved this for me.
I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 on Windows Linux Subsystem (WSL2). After reinstalling gulp globally with npm install gulp -g seemingly I needed to log out of my WSL instance and log back in again (closing and reopening my CLI was enough).
Hopefully this helps someone else.
I'm using Linux Mint 20.3. Had this error. Nothing helped.
gulp --version
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:988
throw err;

Error: Cannot find module 'gulp-cli'
Found a solution after 2 hours of trying different things.
"sudo" ! simple as that.
sudo gulp --version
CLI version: 2.3.0
Local version: 3.9.1
Some gulp commands should be used with sudo to avoid errors
In most cases, deleting all the node packages and then installing them again, solve the problem.
But In my case, the node_modules folder has no write permission.
I had the same issue, although the module that it was downloading was different.
The only resolution to the problem is run the below command again:
npm install
