I installed nodejs and am trying to use npm on my Windows machine. I downloaded all the files from nodejs website. I tried to install the latest 4.4.2 version or 5.10.1 version, but I always got error Cannot find module 'readable-stream' when I tried to run commands using npm.

I tried to reinstall it again and again, still could not fix this problem. And the answers in another similar question do not help because I always got error when I tried to run any command using npm. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Judging from the line C:\Users\Ealon\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\npm\node
modules\npmlog\node_modules\are-we-there-yet\index.js:2:14 in the stack trace, I believe that you had a global installation of npm which internally had a dependency on are-we-there-yet, which I confirmed has a dependency on readable-stream.
The global installation of npm appears to have been borked, and are-we-there-yet couldn't resolve access to the readable-stream module for some reason (bad install?).
This wasn't getting fixed by re-installing node, which by default installs npm into program files (path similar to C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm). I think the global version was getting run, but the version inside program files should be getting run, so wiping out the global installation of npm should hopefully resolve the issue.
I somehow fixed this issue by upgrading npm in Intellij IDEA.
But I still want an expnalation why that problem in my question happened. I will not mark this as the answer.
No need to uninstall node js. When I tried to update my node version, I got this issue & resolved the the same by following below step -
Go to control panel --> uninstall Programs --> select node.js
and click repair.
Had this issue on a Mac. I cloned a project multiple times to handle different branches in parallel. Only one of my cloned repos started having this same issue when I ran npm start. I deleted the repo, cloned it again and nom was running fine again in that repo. Doesn't sound like a global issue to me. No idea what went wrong.

I have a ReactJS project and I was trying to use some of the PrimeReact components. At some point, I faced an error (can't remember exactly which one) and I tried to run an older version of NPM in a copy of my main directory.
Now, I get this error every time, even when I run npm command.
I've already tried to delete my node_modules folder, delete my project and clone it back from GitHub and also to reinstall NodeJS several times. I don't know what to do!
I have Windows 10 and I'm using NodeJS v12.16.0.
Thanks to anyone that offers some help
Update: I have never installed gulp. I suppose that maybe some dependency is using it but, because I can't run any npm command, I can't remove them D:

It might be an error related with gulp and node v12 conflict. If you have the gulp installed globally in your environment and you can uninstall without problems, you can try it. To help with commands, check if you have the gulp installed, typing this in your command line interface:
gulp -v
Uninstall your version:
npm uninstall -g gulp
It has been a long time since I programmed using my personal computer. I usually use a work computer. However, yesterday I decided to start working on a new pet project. Well, I went to set up the website in my Vagrant using VirtualBox, and now nvm, npm, and node are all messed up.
Every time I try to run npm install to set-up the node_module in my project, I get this error:

No matter what I try to do in npm (upgrade it, install, delete, uninstall, etc) it just throws this error.
Could somebody please help me?
The version of npm you have is not supported on Node v0.10.32. In fact Node v0.10 itself is not supported either and projects are actively dropping support it. Most dependencies will want node v4+ these days.
The version of npm you have installed will be available in the VM:
cat /home/vagrant/.nvm/v0.10.32/lib/node_modules/npm/package.json
You will need to manually extract one of the v2 or possibly even a v1 npm release over the files in /home/vagrant/.nvm/v0.10.32/lib/node_modules/npm.
Removing and setting up your nvm v0.10.32 environment again should also take npm back to a working release.
I would guess your Vagrant build does something like an npm install -g npm which would have worked at some stage but now installs the latest, incompatible version.
Use npm install -g npm#2 to stick to a v2.x release

I've tried node 4.x and 6.x
I've also tried to install different versions of polymer-cli, 0.8 and 0.10
I'm running node on Ubuntu 16.04.
Does anyone know what issue I'm running into or how I can resolve this?
Ok wow after quite a lot of digging and searching, I found the answer. Turns out I had previously tried to install polymer-cli using the default ubuntu package. This installed it in a separate location, also on the global path.
When I remove NodeJS and NPM to install the latest version via the PPA, the original polymer-cli was still left on my path. So when I then installed the latest polymer-cli, this was correctly installed, but was never the one being executed since the old one was found on the path first.
I manually deleted all node_modules folders and after doing that I was able to install and run the correct version of polymer-cli, and it now works perfectly fine.
I'm working on native Node.js addon and following nan docs
I included nan into binding.gyp like:
"include_dirs" : [ "<!(node -e \"require('nan')\")" ]
Also nan is in npm dependencies.
But when I install the package inside the another node module node-gyp is failed with error

In my case, it was because of some dependencies missing in the package-lock file. I solved it by removing it and running $ npm install again.
Install nan globally:
npm i -g nan
And then,
export NODE_PATH=$(npm root -g)
Not ideal but it works if you install nan first.
$ npm install nan
I had this exact error with node.js version v12.18.3 and npm 6.14.6.
Upgrading to node.js version v14.15.4 (which includes npm 6.14.10) resolved the issue. npm install ran successfully after the upgrade.
There was no need to install nan in any way.
Unfortunately I had this issue, anything that had 'npm' in it was immediately returned with thrown error.

I had to remove my node & npm files
uninstall and reinstall instruction I followed were here (stackoverflow):
How do I completely uninstall Node.js, and reinstall from beginning (Mac OS X)
I then followed the rabbit trail all the way through every issue!
Don't immediately jump to SO (stackoverflow) at the first sign of friction, the command window (cli) will "oddly enough" give you the right answers to everything (I did however hit about 2 hurdles I referred to SO for, mainly to be on the safe side).
When going through the install of node, npm, & grunt via Install Node.js and npm with Homebrew.
-- I ran into some friction with a python framework file being in a place that made homebrew throw a warning resolve with.
-- and a kegs link warning resolved with my own write up here.
Then when I needed to run: brew install node
-- I had another brew link issue, easy enough, as my write-up above for kegs link warning would just need to be walked through again, so I thought.
I then was getting an error saying I can not brew link --overwrite node that file (privileges or something if I recall, none-the-less resolved here).
Finally
It was at this point everything was working well.
-- Remember! there were simple steps inbetween that I literally just obeyed the command prompts in the cli, such as:
brew wanting me to delete files via a given path:
-- open finder> [at top of MacBook "monitor tool bar"] Go>go to folder...>copy&paste the path supplied by brew in cli window>it will find that director/file then delete appropriate directory/file
-- continue these steps until brew update is completely satisfied.
As I said this final part was just simple following of direction from brew responses directly.
I hope this walkthrough helps someone bypass the issues I had a bit faster, and thank you to the community that spent their time helping me with solutions that I have linked to in this answer.
don't cry over spilt code, keep supporting the community.
I am little bit late for a party. But what worked for me was to re-install all node_modules using rm -rf node_modules && npm install

I'm running npm 2.14.7 and node v4.2.3(video uses 4.2.2) on Win 10. I had previously tried this on node 5.3 and received the same error. I also tried cleaning cache & updating npm, bower, and gulp.
I found C:\Users****\myApp\node_modules\config-chain. Do I need to change something here?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If I need to provide more information, just ask. Thanks!
I guess something was wrong with mean-cli.
I reran:
npm install -g mean-cli
npm install (inside project folder)
My issue was resolved. Hope this helps someone else.
I just removed and re-installed and everything worked. Go figure. I also had to use sudo because I'm on a mac.
sudo npm install -g ember-cli#2.5
The problem is when you install config-chain it installs in your project directory node_modules but cordova add browser is looking in global modules. This is what I did, went outside the directory and ran npm install -g config-chain That resolved this module and asked for more do the same thing for all modules it complains and you should be good.
