EEXIST Error on npm install - node.js

I'm running NPM install with Vagrant shell and I get this error. I've tried removing the /home/vagrant/.npm directory and npm cache clear yet I still get the error. Thanks!
npm ERR! EEXIST, open '/home/vagrant/.npm/8fdf262d-rant-npm-json5-0-4-0-package-tgz.lock'
File exists: /home/vagrant/.npm/8fdf262d-rant-npm-json5-0-4-0-package-tgz.lock
Move it away, and try again.

What kind of version of npm do you use?
Open the command line / Shell and run npm version
Update npm / nodejs to the latest version by downloading it from the website
Open a new command window and make sure you have the latest version(npm version)
Run npm install.
This solved it to me.

Trying to install npm on Raspberry Pi Error

I am working on a simple smart mirror project with javascript and electron. I was able to get the software working on my laptop but when I moved it to the raspberry pi I am having issues installing npm. After entering "npm install" I get this:

I have tried

Any ideas what to do? Thanks!
EDIT:
I updated the node.js to a more current version and now it installed without error. However, when I typed in the command
npm start
I get this:

Have you seen this issue? Electron works only on RaspberryPi 2/3 what version are you using?
Also have you run npm install before actually run the app? Sometimes when copying node_modules from OS to OS the executable permissions get very confused.
You can try a fresh install with: rm -rf node_modules && npm install

Can't publish VS Code extension anymore after `npm update`?

I just can't publish my extension anymore.
It just worked fine before I ran npm update.
Now it says all day, no matter what:

See dependencies in package.json to get the full picture.
I tried with countless node versions (6.x to 7.x), no luck with any.
Anyone with similar issues ended up in a solution?
Manually deleting entire node_modules content, then reinstall everything (with npm install) simply solved the issue.

Installing NW.js

I'm having some trouble installing NW.js. When I run npm install nw, I get these error messages:

I'm pretty sure the problem has to do with the first section where it talks about node being installed. I know there's an issue with Debian where the node package is actually already taken, so they use nodejs instead. I don't know enough this to fix it, I've already tried running export node=nodejs and adding it to the ~/.bashrc. Does anyone have any ideas about what I can do? I've had this problem with other npm packages as well.
The nodejs executable is called node, not nodejs. So, just remove the line you added. (export node=nodejs)
If it still won't work: Try reinstall node via package management (apt-get/yum/dnf) or Try reinstall the executable and setup PATH from website (https://nodejs.org/en/download/).

npm err code eisdir errno -4068 whenever installing any package

I followed this guide to install node to my machine without having admin rights.
I put node.exe, (npm.cmd and node_modules ) both from the npm zip in C:\Users\rakibler\Node. I added that to my path. I ran npm install -g bower and got
npm ERR! Error: EISDIR, open 'C:\Users\rakibler\Node\bower'

at the end. It also seems like something else is wrong, because everything it downloads goes to C:\Users\rakibler\Node instead of C:\Users\rakibler\Node\node_modules. Not sure what's going wrong here. Any idea?
i think you need to install the npm globlally using
"npm install -g npm"
and then use it in directory to install bower . i hope this will solve your issue

fails installing node package using npm on debian

I have just built a server and installed NodeJS (compiled from source). I can install global packages using npm but can't install anything locally:

$
I am running the current versions of node and npm:
$ node -v
v0.10.26
$ npm -v
1.4.3
$
I am having the same issues with the request package as well.
I am the owner of the folder and all the files int contains.
Does anyone know what is going on?
The issue may be the permissions on the .npm directory in the home directory. I belatedly found this post:
NPM cannot install dependencies - Attempt to unlock something which hasn't been locked
Unfortunately until I get into work tomorrow I have no way to confirm this.
