I'm trying to install a library from a private repository, and I keep getting an error in trying to use npm.
I'm using:
OSX Mavericks 10.9.3
Node v0.10.28
npm 1.4.10 (this was installed after trying with 1.4.13 and it still not working)
I am running this from my home directory, and the ~/.npmrc file is in the directory.
whenever I run the command: npm install 'library name here'
I get the following error:
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/dslib-js

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
In my case the character encoding was wrong for some reason, I had to convert it to UTF-8.
I used "npm get" to discover the problem, the result was full of u/2411... strings.
If what you posted is truly the output of ls -a, then the filename is wrong.
~:.npmrc should be named .npmrc.
The ~ at the beginning suggests you used a shell shortcut to place the file in your home directory (maybe something like cp .npmrc ~:.npmrc. The trouble is likely the colon. ~/ will be interpreted as "my home directory", but ~something/ will be interpreted as the home directory of the user named something. Since there is no user something, the system is probably just treated ~: as literal text.
Try renaming the file and see if that works:
mv "~:.npmrc" .npmrc
For people running Windows, check if Windows is hiding file extensions. For me, Windows was saying that the file name was .npmrc, but the real file name was .npmrc.txt.
Removing the .txt extension fixed the issue.
I'm assuming the Node package dslib-js is contained within your private npm repository. You'll need to set that repository in your local .npmrc file. For example, if your repository was at http://myrepo.com:4000 you would run the following command:
$ npm set registry "http://myrepo.com:4000"
The error your getting above is because the package dslib-js is not available on the npmjs.org, as you can see from visiting this URL: https://www.npmjs.org/package/dslib-js. By default (without a registry set in your .npmrc file), npm will search https://registry.npmjs.org (which can be browsed on the web via the URL I pasted above).
In case it helps anyone landing here: I had a npm-shrinkwrap.json file in the project root that was overriding the registry config from .npmrc. Removing the shrinkwrap file solved the issue.
I missed a couple of things to download my packages published in my private repository.
First The file name was .npmrc.txt instead of .npmrc. In windows, you can't create file name directly. So I opened command prompt then fired
echo "auth_token" > .npmrc
Second I was just pasting my auth_token in .npmrc file. You have to append the registry address also.
//**.**.visualstudio.com/_packaging/**/npm/registry/:_authToken=token_here
In case this helps anyone... my issue was I created the .npmrc file in a text editor so npm was ignoring the file because of the permissions on it. In order to fix it I deleted the file. Then I remade the file through the command line.
Cheers!
In case anyone has the same issue as me. We have a private registry but before adding the .npmrc file I tried running npm install. This created the package-lock.json and it was overriding the new registry that was added in the .npmrc file.
Simply deleting the package-lock.json and re-running npm install fixed it for me
I came across a scenario where npm ci was not picking/reading configs from .npmrc file.
Replacing it with npm install resolved the issue.
Node version 10.18.0
Slightly different reason of npm not picking up the .npmrc. But after changing the registry setting in my project's .npmrc file I had to delete previously existing node_modules folder and package-lock.json, then install with npm install --save. Doesn't make much sense, but after this, the package-lock.json file (re)created was using the correct registry.
I had a same problem mentioned in the question, I have resolved the problme in the following way
step 1: I went to the user directory in the c drive
C:\Users\user1
step 2: Found text.npmrc file which in the text format
step 3: I just replaced the file text.npmrc to .npmrc
step 4: after run npm install it working fine as i expected

I am trying to use my first private npm package on a gitlab private instance
I added #ajouve:registry=https://gitlab.my-website.io/api/v4/packages/npm/ to .npmrc
the command npm get seems to return the correct config
; "project" config from /Volumes/Work/service/.npmrc
#ajouve:registry = "https://gitlab.my-website.io/api/v4/packages/npm/"
; "cli" config from command line options
omit = []

; node bin location = /usr/local/bin/node
; cwd = /Volumes/Work/service
; HOME = /Users/ajouve
; Run `npm config ls -l` to show all defaults.
But when I want to add the package
npm install --save #ajouve/my-module
I have

Here you can get several answers
Install npm module from gitlab private repository
As someone who started using Gitlab's registry a couple days ago, i ran on the same issue.
On the .npmrc, the scope name has to meet with your packet scope.
For example, if we have the project A, it's package.json should be like this:
{
"name": "#myscope/myproject",
...Rest of your package.json
And on your project B, the .npmrc must match the scope
#myscope:registry=https://gitlab.com/api/v4/packages/npm/
Then after, make sure you authenticate with the scoped registry, otherwise NPM will throw a error or ignore and go search on NPM Registry
$ npm config set #myscope:registry https://gitlab.com/api/v4/packages/npm/
$ npm config set -- '//gitlab.com/api/v4/packages/npm/:_authToken' "<your_token>"
NOTE: <your_token> should be a access token created on your Gitlab Profile. You can create this by going on Preferences > Access Tokens. Make sure to check "read_registry" before creating the token.
Then, you can install your package easily
$ npm install --save #myscope/myproject
EDIT: If you are using a self-hosted gitlab instance, it follows the same, just remember to change "gitlab.com" to your gitlab instance url.
Try this, it should work.
npm install --save #ajouve/my-module --registry=https://gitlab.my-website.io/api/v4/packages/npm/
Another way is to create group endpoint in the private instance which will point hosted + proxy to public packages and update your registry to point to that endpoint so both private and public packages will work.
for the first installation you need to run
npm config set #ajouve:registry=https://gitlab.my-website.io/api/v4/packages/npm/
You could try this:
npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org
npm-registry
Or sometimes you just need to adduser and login to fix this problem with a private package. Have a look at this doc: npm-addUser
Commands should be something like this:
npm adduser
npm login
Tried to run this command on ubuntu 18.04
npm install -g pngquant-bin
but I got this error,

Do you do you know how to deal with this?
I tried every solution found in this articles yet not succeeded.
Got the same error sh: 1: node: Permission denied
So this worked for me
npm config set user 0
npm config set unsafe-perm true
These issues happen because of broken packages. Go to the main folder. If using Linux use command
sudo rm -rf node_modules.
After that run this command if you are using yarn
yarn install
If you are using npm run this command
npm install
Delete the node_modules and install it again
sudo rm -rf node_modules
npm install
in fact, npm can't use root account to install anything. if you use root account, npm will create a non-permission account to install. in this case, if the package need to execute writeFile or other operation which need permission, the error node: Permission denied will be raised.
so, you can choose optional arbitrary under:
npm install xxx --unsafe-perm
npm config set unsafe-perm true
create high-permission account dedicate to execute npm install
In my case it was a silly typo, I was forgotten to add node into the front of the start command in package.json. So I've changed:
"scripts": {
"start": "app/server.js"
}
... to:
"scripts": {
"start": "node app/server.js"
}
The /root/.npm/... log path in your original message shows you're already running as root, and (despite what others advise) I'd say this is most likely causing your problem.
My (limited) experience running Node as root is that most npm install runs get quite a long way, but then fail with some variation on the error you showed. The only reliable solution I've found is to not run Node or npm as root at all on Ubuntu. Just use a normal user account to download and unpack the Node installation.
At least one problem with running as root for me turned out to be because some dependency-of-a-dependency npm install script was calling setuid to switch to a less-privileged user. For some reason, it chose UID 500—which doesn't exist on Ubuntu—and consequently lost all its privileges. The 'Permission denied' errors were therefore because I was running as root; setuid doesn't work for a normal user.
I believe this is related to Error: setuid user id does not exist npm ERR! when npm install forever -g.
Solved my problem chmod -R a+x node_modules
As far as my understanding goes the os is blocking your ability to execute commands described in node_modules so by my understanding what this command does is say everything in node_modules is okay to execute.
By the time I found the solution it was 4 AM, so I didn't really bother to figure out what I actually did. If someone knows what -R a+x node_modules does exactly feel free to drop it in the commands and I will make an edit.
I make the chown to project user owner (in USERID) dir and resolv the "permission denied" problem:
sudo chown -R USERID.USERID *
Additionally (and this might be useful for docker) you can override this configuration setting globally via the environment variable npm_config_user -- for example:
ENV npm_config_user=root
I ran into the same error an nothing really helped. I found a medium article explaining how to set up an angular build management. For some reason adding
- npm link #angular/cli#13.2.5
to my build script made it. I basically added all of the recommendations above. So my build script now looks like this
- ...
- npm config set user 0
- npm config set unsafe-perm true
- npm i --force
- npm link #angular/cli#13.2.5
- ...
I hope it helps! I would be happy if someone could explain why it actually worked.
This is an old question but maybe someone still need some help.
This errors often is displayed because you have defined in the package.json just the path. For example:
{
// more definitions
"scripts": {
// other scripts
"getPax8Products": "<filepath>",
// more scripts
},
// more definitions
}
In this case, you need to:
Add the following lines in the very beggining of the script
#!/usr/bin/env node
'use strict';
Give the file execution permission
# in UNIX based
chmod +x <filepath>
You also can modify the package.json and add the node command. However, you need to be aware that NPM will run in the script's directory:
{
// more definitions
"scripts": {
// other scripts
"getPax8Products": "node <filepath>",
// more scripts
},
// more definitions
}
For Deploying with Docker:
make sure /node_modules is deleted or added to dockerignorefile
make sure /dist is deleted or added to dockerignorefile
the problem was solved for me by deleting both files
and build them in the container
For me, I had not installed my dependencies. node_modules did not exist, but I had jest installed globally apparently. Running npm ci and then running npm test solved my issue.
npm install lite-server --save-dev
packages.json:
"scripts": {
"dev": "lite-server",
},
"devDependencies": {
"lite-server": "^2.6.1"
}
npm run dev
I stuck with same issue when tried to install packages into AWS Sagemaker instance
The issue coming because NPM by default install new global packages into ~/.npm-global
When you run npm install -g by root, npm is try to install package into /root/.npm-global/..., and stuck with access denied.
Simply workaround to re-config global folder for npm.
(https://docs.npmjs.com/resolving-eacces-permissions-errors-when-installing-packages-globally)
Here is example of install obj2gltf
mkdir /npm-global
npm config set prefix '/npm-global'
export PATH=/npm-global/bin:$PATH
npm install -g obj2gltf
I had that error too and tried the above solutions without any change. My error was caused because I had Windows (11) with a WSL and NVM installed on both operating systems. I had to uninstall NVM on my Windows to resolve the conflicts.
I think if you develop in your WSL and have a resource installed on both operating systems, a dependency might point to the wrong operating system with the resource (in my case to the NVM on Windows). The WSL user didn't have sufficient permissions to perform any execution on the Windows machine, which lead to the error.
you need root user permission, just add sudo keyword before the command and write your password
sudo npm install -g pngquant-bin
Try to install node at project folder
npm install node
I have the following line in my dependencies in package.json:
"log": "https://git.mydomain.com/myproject/myrepo/repository/archive.tar.gz?ref=0.1.0",
I get the following:
km#Karls-MBP ~/dev/vertica (km/ref) $ npm install

I don't know if the issue is GitLab (where the repo exists) or NPM.
Node v8.9.4
NPM v5.6.0
Remove .npmrc from the Home Directory, it should be able to work. I did the same and it works for me.
My user directory .npmrc file had a stale authtoken as below.
//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=3615fa68-123a-4d72-b99a-772b5b1edc48
By removing this line, the npm installation works fine and no longer throws an authentication error.
You need to add user to npm registery
>> npm whoami [ it will return not authorized ]
To add new user follow below steps :-
>> npm adduser (then enter your name and complex password and your email)
>> npm whoami (return your registered name)
I got the same error but the reason in my case was different than the above answers:
I discovered that the package-lock.json had some of the packages resolved to a private url instead of the typical public npm urls, so deleting the npm lock file and running npm install again solved it
But if this is the case, you need to check with the team still why this private url resolution happened instead of the normal one
I got this when I used --prefer-offline
- npm ci --cache .npm --prefer-offline --unsafe-perm --no-optional
Removing that option fixed it.
In my case I have to change the content of .npmrc file to package-lock=false.
Now it works fine!
removing the .npmrc from the root directory worked for me
removing the .npmrc from the root directory worked perfectly for me as well
I noticed this error for a public github repo. Removed the entry always-auth = true and was able to proceed.
I have 3 local modules "web", "presentation" and "repository" in 3 different directories. Each module has a package.json with name property as "myproject-web", "myproject-presentation" and "myproject-repository".
i am trying to link repository -> web and presentation -> web. so i tried this:
cd ./presentation
npm link
cd ../repository
npm link
cd ../web
npm link myproject-presentation
npm link myproject-repository
Both last commands are failing as NPM is looking for "myproject-..." in npm registry and this is the error i get
npm ERR! 404 Registry returned 404 for GET on http://registry.npmjs.org/myproject-repository
npm ERR! 404
npm ERR! 404 'myproject-repository' is not in the npm registry.
npm ERR! 404 You should bug the author to publish it (or use the name yourself!)
Please note, i didn't get any error while running 'npm link' on dependent directories (presentation and web). It returned successfully with the following :
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/myproject-presentation -> /Users/koder/projects/test/myproject-presentation
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/myproject-repository -> /Users/koder/projects/test/myproject-repository
I am following this blog post as reference
Solved: Please see my own answer:
Realised what i am doing wrong. I forgot to create a .npmrc file in "repository" and "presentation" folder step the blog post mentioned.
npm link is working as expected

npm insists on using my home directory as the current working directory, no matter which directory I am executing commands from.
Happens with both cmd and Powershell, I've tried removing and reinstalling node, both using the installer on nodejs.org, and via Chocolatey with the same result.
If I navigate to e.g. C:\test and run npm init, the wizard places the resulting package.json file in my home folder.
If I run npm install <package> from any folder, the package is installed to C:\Users\myusername\node_modules
Trying to install a package globally also fails, with this
npm ERR! System Windows_NT 6.1.7601
npm ERR! command "C:\\ProgramData\\chocolatey\\lib\\nodejs.commandline.0.10.33\\tools\\node.exe" "C:\\ProgramData\\chocolatey\\lib\\npm.1.4.9\\tools\\node_modules\\npm\\bin\\npm-cli.js" "install" "gulp" "-g"
npm ERR! cwd C:\Users\<myusername>
If I navigate to a folder, start the node REPL and run process.cwd() the directory I started node from is returned, so the issue seems to be limited to npm.
Running npm get gives this result:
C:\test> npm get
; cli configs
registry = "https://registry.npmjs.org/"
user-agent = "npm/1.4.9 node/v0.10.33 win32 x64"
; node bin location = C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\nodejs.commandline.0.10.33\tools\node.exe
; cwd = C:\Users\<myusername>
; HOME = C:\Users\<myusername>
; 'npm config ls -l' to show all defaults.
I've searched quite a bit for a solution, and have found some similar issues, but none that solved my problem. I know that npm walks up the directory tree to look for a node_modules folder, but this happens in folders outside my home directory as well.
Any tips on what I try to resolve this?
Turns out I had a cd C:\Users\<myusername> command in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\AutoRun in the registry. Meaning that this command was executed any time CMD.EXE started.
No idea how that got in there, I might have added it myself at some point.
Anyway, if someone experiences differences between the current working directory when executing a script and when running the same command manually in an open command prompt, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\AutoRun and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\AutoRunare good places to check.
Not 100% sure but I think you'll get this if when you don't have a package.json file. Try to create one (npm init) then try installing any modules. Should then save them under node_modules of whatever current directory you're in.
