Question

Please help. I am having a NPM app which when I downloaded locally and trying to do a "npm install" is throwing me the - "npm ERR! version not found: i#0.3.2" error.

I tried googling and was able to find this solution
https://github.com/pksunkara/inflect/issues/11
but I am not sure how to apply that solution to my problem.
I mean, I dont see a reference to "i" anywhere in my package.json or I am not able to recognize something that is very obviously present.
Here is my package.json file

},
"scripts": {
"prestart": "npm install",
"start": "http-server -a localhost -p 8000 -c-1"
}
}
I tried doing "npm install -g npm". But, that doesnt help either.
Any inputs on how to fix this?

Answer 1

i#0.3.2 got unpublished, so anything depending on it will need to be upgraded to use i#0.3.3, which was published almost immediately after 0.3.2 got unpublished.
npm ls i
will show you the path to it (and show you that it's MISSING), as well as what depends on it
Update: After editing the package.json to use
"json-proxy":"*"
you should no longer get this error.
If you're curious the dependency chain looks like this. json-proxy depends on
optimist/ httpp-proxy/utile/i
