bower install - Cannot find module 'q' - node.js

I'm using node v5.6.0 and bower 1.7.7 on a Mac.
I've done a npm install in my project folder which installs all the /node_modules including q.
I've also done a npm install -g q just to see if that helped.
But as soon as I run bower install (or just bower) anywhere I get
ambp:~ andreaslarsen$ bower
module.js:341
throw err;
^
Error: Cannot find module 'q'

Any suggestions?

I had this problem recently. I reinstalled bower globally. npm install and
"npm install -g bower" solved my problem. This downloaded the required folders in to node_modules directory globally and solved problem which I faced while installing packages with bower.

Turned out I just had to restart the terminal after doing the npm install and before doing the bower install
Works fine now

I also had this problem too, I tried a new terminal which didn't fix it, so I manually installed the missing module but it refused to find others, so upon further investigation it turned out to be a botched install of bower, which hadn't installed all its libs, so rerunning
npm install
fixed it for me.

Cannot find module 'findup-sync' on running grunt

I am working in a project previously built. This project was built using Node and Grunt.
I have a Gruntfile.js in the root folder of the project.
I installed grunt both locally and global, using
npm i grunt
npm i -g grunt
After, I installed grunt-cli both locally and global, using
npm i grunt-cli
npm i -g grunt-cli
And when I try to run any grunt command (develop, init, etc), I get the error
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:638
throw err;

I searched in many forums and here too, but I haven't found an answer.
Can anybody help me?
UPDATE
After lose more than 24 hours working on this error, I fixed it with the following steps:
Install node-grunt-cli in Ubuntu via apt, like CPBL says in his comment
apt install node-grunt-cli
On OSX this wasn't necessary.
Following the steps I found on this blog. However, I also needed to run the command
grunt develop
as a sudo, even though changing the permissions of many folders.
Thanks to Pablo Lopes for putting me on the right track (see his question which includes the answer). I resolved my issue by:
Installing node-grunt-cli via apt:
sudo apt install node-grunt-cli
Running grunt with sudo:
sudo grunt
This isn't an ideal fix because it requires using sudo when running grunt - which shouldn't be necessary.
For me, installing via apt was the cause of the issue. Installing via npm npm install grunt -g corrected the problem. Given an existing global grunt install from apt, you might need to add --force to overwrite.

After node reinstalled: "Cannot find module 'internal/util/types' "

So I had removed node from my computer (mostly, I thought) a couple months ago, and today I reinstalled it. Node's working okay, but when I try to test npm I get this message:
$ npm
module.js:549
throw err;

I tried using "npm rebuild" as I've seen suggested, but that has no impact on anything. I'm using Node v8.11.2 on Windows (hell if I know what version of NPM). Any clues?
In windows,
Step 1: Go to \global_modules\node_modules,
(C:\Users\youruser\AppData\Roaming\npm )
(C:\Users\youruser\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache)
Step 2: Delete the "npm" folder and all its contents,
Step 3: Go to https://nodejs.org,
Step 4: Download the "Recommended For Most Users" version),
Step 5: Install it
For me this worked.
delete package-lock.json
npm i graceful-fs
npm i vinyl-fs
From your terminal, run
rm -rf ./node_modules
npm update
npm install npm#latest -g
or
sudo npm install npm#latest -g
These should help fix your problem.
Had this same problem. Solved it by going to %AppData% and deleting npm and npm-cache folders.

Error: Cannot find module 'commander'

when I m running sails -v, sails lift or even installing npm I m getting this error Please help -

Most likely commander is missing from package.json. Install it and add it to package.json by doing:
npm install commander --save
Install commander globally.
sudo npm install commander -g
This will install commander module under/usr/lib/node_modules/.
Uninstalling sails and reinstalling with 'sudo' resolved it.
npm uninstall sails -g
sudo npm install sails -g
When i try setup new app with the help of express-generator.
given error:Cannot find module 'commander'
Node version:12.16.1
switch node version :10.16.3
after switch node version is working fine..
In my case it was because of bad version of node. I've tried node 8.15.1 and it works.
On my end, after doing npm install, and attempt to run npm run watch I encountered this same issue of Error: Cannot find module 'commander'.
I did below:
// delete node_modules (can do manually) or command below
// rm -rf node_modules
npm install
And I was able to do npm run watch again.
This maybe because of corrupted packages.

npm Error “ Cannot find module 'npmlog' ”

nvm is not compatible with the npm config "prefix" option: currently set to ""
Run `npm config delete prefix` or `nvm use --delete-prefix v0.10.31 --silent` to unset it.
I've discovered that it is a version bug and can be resolved either by upgrading the npm version or by deleting the node modules like so;
rm -rf node_modules
Then reinstalling them;
npm install
After removing the modules, npm install failed to run because of missing dependancies i.e. the modules. Now the command shows no response at all.
My node version is v0.10.48
This worked for me
Install nvm:
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.0/install.sh | bash
Restart the terminal
Run
nvm install node
 
I had the same problem after proposed npm upgrade via npm -i -g npm. But Fedora npm/node installed via dnf has modules links to /usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules.bundled/ from /usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/. I saw links were broken because usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules.bundled/ disappeared. So reinstallation node,nodejs,npm via dnf/rpm solved the problem.

angular cli not working on windows 10

I have just reinstall node.js, npm and angular-cli but this last one does not work on my PC running on Windows 10. The version of node.js is 8.1.2, the version of npm is 5.0.3. I installed angular-cli with the command line npm install -g #angular/cli. Now when I try any command line beginning with ng I have the error:
module.js:487
throw err;

Any idea what is wrong?
Shot in the dark, but I heard of -g installs interfering with local angular cli. However, this appears to just be a missing module from the download, maybe just a package lost. Try to uninstall and re-install again
I'm also on Windows 10. Node 8.1.4 and npm 5.2.0
What worked for me was following the steps from an issue thread I found on github: https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/4425
. The link describes the following steps:
Uninstall angular cli
npm uninstall #angular/cli -g
Install rxJS
npm install rxjs -g
Cleared cache
npm cache clean
Manually deleted content in
%AppData%\npm\node_modules
Installed angular cli npm install
#angular/cli -g
Try downgrading node to v7 and npm to v4 then run:
rm -rf node_modules dist
npm cache clear --force
npm install
There are also some threads mentioning the removal of package.lock which is a new part of npm#5. Furhtermore it is worth checking you typescript version ensuring it is > 2.2.0.
