I am getting this error
npm ERR! cb.apply is not a function
in Linux while doing npm install although my npm version is 6.9.0. My node version is v12.18.3. How to resolve this issue?
Would be helpful if you shared if it's Windows or Linux, but the error seems to occur on Windows. Possible solution:
1. Go to C:\Users(your username)\AppData\Roaming
2. Delete the npm folder (possibly back it up) and if there is one npm cache folder.
3. Run `npm cache clear --force` (--force is now required to clean cache)
After that, npm install should work fine.
Mac/Macbook users
Since this question is fairly active and a top google result for this issue (I know the OP is using Linux), here is how to fix it on a Mac.
On a Mac you do not have the AppData\Roaming folder, so simply run npm root -g and then navigate to the hidden directory and delete the node_modules there. If using nvm you'll need to rerun nvm use x.x.x (where x.x.x is your version).
Solution for Windows:
In my case I didn't want to delete all the npm directory inside C:/users/me/AppData/Roaming/ because I had many global modules that already existed and installed.
What worked was inspired by #user14360499's answer:
go inside C:\Users\me\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules
delete the npm dir
npm install my project, and keep working as usually
Solution for ubuntu 18.04:
sudo apt-get remove nodejs
sudo apt-get remove npm
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/node
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/npm
sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo apt-get install npm
Then try node and npm version:
node -v
npm -v
If it says there is no such node/npm after you already install, then:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/node /usr/local/bin/node
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/npm /usr/local/bin/npm
Try this if the command works:
npm -v
node -v
In case when you want to update npm/node stable version:
sudo npm install n -g
sudo n stable
I had the same issue with Nodist. After changing my Node version, my npm version was actually incompatible with it. So if you're using Nodist, make sure to run nodist npm {scope} match after switching Node versions, where scope is either global, local or env.
For me, on Centos 7, it was about removing graceful-ts used locally by npx. First, I've had to open log file which was mentioned in the error message:
npm ERR! cb.apply is not a function
npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR! /root/.npm/_logs/2022-04-04T07_45_27_182Z-debug.log
In that log file there was this path:
verbose stack at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npx/node_modules/npm/node_modules/graceful-fs/polyfills.js:287:18
So I removed whole graceful-fs directory and ran npx again. Everything worked.
rm -fR /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npx/node_modules/npm/node_modules/graceful-fs
Had the same error (macOS Big Sur) when i tried to use npx.
How i fixed it (using nvm)
when i run:
nvm ls
nvm ls output
Fix:
nvm alias default node
nvm install 'lts/*'
nvm install output
Ciao, this problem could be connected to graceful-fs package. You could try to reinstall it:
npm install graceful-fs --save-dev
In my case it was indeed the graceful-fs package. Running
npm i -g --force graceful-fs
fixed the issue. I also ran nodist npm {scope} match before but I'm unsure if it was neccessary.
Solution for Ubuntu 18.04=>
Visit 'usr/lib/node_modules'.
Delete 'n', 'npm','npm-clean','npm-install-peers'. That means delete all the node & npm related folders.
Install the npm again.
I have tried a lot of solutions from different posts and google pages and nothing worked for me.
I ended up cleaning all traces of node, nodejs, and npm. May need some manual force remove after the purge call. And then installed using nvm.
https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-node-js-on-ubuntu-20-04/#installing-nodejs-and-npm-using-nvm
And it resolved the issue for me. It got the nodejs v 15.4.0 and the compatible version of npm 7.0.15 ( before using apt-get it was installing npm 6.9.0)
On macOS BigSur, I had this problem when executing:
npx install-peerdeps --dev eslint-config-airbnb
To fix, I ran
brew update
after which I was prompted to run
brew upgrade
Running the two commands fixed the issue.
I had this problem while trying to run npx.
I found that nvm had been removed from the PATH.
I added it back to my .zshrc file and it worked.
In my case (Mac) it was because I had npx installed alongside n (alternative to nvm).
$ which npx
/usr/local/bin/npx
I removed this exectutable and now:
$ which npx
/Users/MY_USER/n/bin/npx
and it works now.
I was getting this error when running npx sb init. For some reason, the command worked localy but not in CI. I tried most of the solutions from here. But only the following worked.
I replaced npx sb init with yarn global add #storybook/cli && yarn exec sb init as suggested here: https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/issues/3937#issuecomment-751289438
(NVM, Node.js 14, Yarn 1)
if you are also getting this error:
1 warn npm npm does not support Node.js v16.2.0
that means that your npm version is not correct.
reinstall npm, try again.
It works for me.
Feb 2021 fix:
npm install
And then commit the changes to package-lock.json. That should update all your dependencies, thus fixing this issue.
More info: https://help.heroku.com/ZV7S7D6T/why-is-my-node-build-is-suddenly-displaying-npm-err-cb-apply-is-not-a-function (this happened to me on heroku)
For linux users:
uninstall NPM, to do it go to /usr/local/lib/node_modules and do:
sudo rm -r n npm npx
Once uninstalled, re-instal it:
npm install
Even after doing this, in a specific project when trying to install a specific npm package, you may get the following error:
bash: /usr/local/bin/npm: No such file or directory
If so, in the terminal just run:
hash -r
Now you can retry installation of your wanted npm package.
For me , the solution was to delete the node modules and bower components folder of the project.
for the mac OS remove the node version and reinstalling was work for me. I used n npm version manager.
On windows, using nvm, i just installed a newer nodejs version (before 14.17.0, now 14.18.2)
So many solutions just made me even more puzzled. I downloaded and installed the newest LTS NodeJS and it worked just fine.
https://nodejs.org/en/
I'm on a Mac, and had exactly the same issue. Deleting the node modules seemed a little overkill for me, so I ran npm update and it solved the issue! Please note I did not yet have any package.json or any modules on the repo I was working in.
Windows 10:
When calling npx create-react-app my-app, i got following error:
npm ERR! cb.apply is not a function
To fix it, i did the following:
Go to the folder you want to create the app in.
npm install create-react-app --save-dev
npx create-react-app my-app
The problem has occured when the node and npm packages are not latest.
For me the problem is resolved when I completely removed npm and node, and made a clean installation.
I am using ubuntu 22 lts
to remove node and npm completely I have followed this answer
Had this issue when creating a new react app using create-react-app.
I was using nvm, so I just updated it to the latest LTS version:
nvm install --lts
then switched to the newly installed lts version:
nvm use --lts
closed and reopened the terminal, reran create-react-app and the error was fixed!
Solution for ubuntu =>
Completely remove nodejs and npm from your system.
sudo apt-get remove nodejs
sudo apt-get remove npm
Install node from this reference (https://computingforgeeks.com/install-node-js-14-on-ubuntu-debian-linux/) - This will inturn install latest npm .
Had the same error was simply in the wrong folder -.- (not a typescript project)
How are you all?
I'm really new at this. I'm having trouble deploying my react project. When I do it, the entire website is blank. Someone said to me that I should update my Node and my NPM. That leads me to the first question: "When I update the NPM, I'm updating Node at the same time, right?"
So I researched and found this command:
npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n stable
And I think that updated my NPM.
Done that, I ran the GIT STATUS to see if something were modified in my project. Nothing.
But that leads me to my second question: "Cool... but now I have to update my project with my new NPM version, right?"
I tried:
NPM UPDATE
But then i checked my git status again and nothing was modified. How can I update it?
Thanks guys. I really hope I did this right.
First of all, you have to understand npm & node is the environment to run the projects on your computer (local). It's global and not belong to any project. So if you install or update global, it won't affect your project (specific on your working copy git) because it's the global, and only is the environment to run, you can check dependencies on your package.json file.
If you wanna update node to latest:
sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable
update npm to latest version: npm install npm#latest -g
To install a package globally, one has to use sudo, but then again npm does not recommend using sudo. So the official recommendation is this. I followed all the steps from 1 to 5 in Option 2. But when I want to use an NPM package from terminal, I have to define the full path. For instance I installed npm-check-updates, but I can't run ncu or npm-check-updates command from terminal, because it says bash: ncu: command not found. I have to type the full path like this: ~/.npm-global/bin/ncu.
How do I fix this?
Hi there I noticed this hasn't been answered so I'm responding just in case I or anybody else runs into the same problem in future.
Here's what worked for me:
npm install -g npm-check-updates
ncu -u
after running the second command, you should see a list of all your dependencies and their latest versions then run
npm install
to install new versions.
I am new to "#angular/cli", I have tried every thing but could not install.
I am tired now please some one can help me to install angular 4 "#angular/cli" in my system.
node and npm Version
and when I am installing "npm install -g #angular/cli" then getting
after installing node -v 6 I am getting below erorr
please suggest me where actually I am wrong.
My friend,
Please try: npm cache clean --force. Maybe your npm cache got confused.
It could be issue with your node version. I will suggest you to reinstall node and try it again.
Or you can also try to clean node cache of using npm cache clean --force
List of Npm registry
https://registry.npmjs.org/ (Dfault One)
https://r.cnpmjs.org/
https://registry.npm.taobao.org/
https://registry.nodejitsu.com/
https://skimdb.npmjs.com/registry
To switch just type
npm config set registry "https://registry.npmjs.org/"
Replace the registry url with the above urls check which one works for you.
I am from india so i used https://r.cnpmjs.org/ and the same error got resolved.
Note: Please use npm cache clear (To clear cache ) and npm cache verify (To verify its clear or not), This Method works for me
Changing Registry location worked for me .
Using :
npm config set registry "https://registry.npmjs.org/"
few warnings but meh! life's too short for warnings.(Every thing is working fine BTW)
It is possible your npm cache has a corrupted file, perhaps it partially downloaded something and then got an error. Try npm cache clean --force and see if that helps.
If that doesn't help look in the log file given in the error message. Find the unexpected end of JSON input message in the log file and look before it to see if there are any other hints to the problem.
You updated your question with a new error message. That one is more specific about the corrupted file. Try removing the cli-1.5.5.tgz file from the path specified and try again. If you are using a web proxy on your network then it is also possible that your proxy has stored a corrupted cache: if you are able then turn off any proxies configured for your system and try a direct download.
Perhaps you are missing space- npm install -g #angular/cli#latest
1) Install node.js and check and node -v in command prompt. (Node.js
through website).
2) npm install -g #angular/cli#latest (run in command prompt).
Refer this link for further help
https://github.com/angular/angular-cli
3) Check node -version
4) Check npm -version
5) check ng -version
If already installed, then uninstall it and install again,
npm uninstall -g #angular/cli
npm cache clean
Both the CLI and generated project have dependencies that require Node 6.9.0 or higher, together with NPM 3 or higher.
Try using different Node version.
First try updating NodeJS(8.9.3) and npm(5.6.0). These are the LTS versions. For Node this can be important! If that doesn't work, follow this installation guide for windows.
Make sure you are not connected to VPN while installation is on.
Also, please cleanup your node_modules folder before your next try. I use the command rimraf node_modules to remove this directory in windows.
Lastly try running npm install -g #angular/cli#latest
run npm install -g #angular/cli#latest in command prompt as an admin.
right click the windows button, click on command propmt (Admin) or windows power shell(Admin) depending on your windows version. Then type the command and run it.
Most times, you could get issues when you want to install as a normal user considering the fact that you are using the -g (global) flag.
We too have the same kind of issue with user login then we tried from Administrator login its worked for us. Please do the same it may fix for you too.
Please try running:
rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
And this,
npm install
If it still does not work, try to manually install cli:
npm install --save-dev #angular/cli
When an npm package is published, the publishing process generates a checksum that npm uses at install time to verify that the package didn't get corrupted in transit.
I had the exact same problem, while i was working in a client site, so the problem could be not your environment, they may have a proxy that needs to be configured, in my case we had a nexus server we were going through, and it has something wrong, but when i started using npm registry directly everything worked fine, but most of the time it's a cache problem, to be sure of that you should run:
npm doctor
you will probably find where is the issue.
if not please post the result maybe i can help.
Make sure your console is running as Admin,
Reinstall node & npm
Reinstall angular/cli
Most probable issue is with npm cache. Just clean your npm cache by command
npm cache clean --force
It should work well.
Uninstall your node package. And try the following
Install the latest node package from
https://nodejs.org/en/download/
Check your node and npm version by
node -v
npm -v
Now install the Angular latest version by
npm install -g #angular/cli
Check the angular version by
ng v
Now start creating your application from
https://angular.io/guide/quickstart
So I'm working with Hyperledger which requires you to have a certain Node version 8 and therefore you cannot use the newest angular installation. Perhaps I can recommend another alternative?
cd into the directory
npm install
npm start
You can also clean your npm cache but if one way doesn't work, try the other.
Try navigating to /usr/local/bin and :
if check if the file named ng is present over there, if yes then
rm -r ng and it will remove that file.
Then you can try sudo npm i -g #angular/cli#latest
And it will be a successful install.
(Writing this for those who might also face this issue in future)
Npm cache clean --force
Then install npm
Then go for angular
Npm I -g #angular/cli
was having a similar issue while installing angular cli using npm.
this was resolved by running:
npm cache clean --force
It happened to me once, looked like I had to specify the version of angular cli:
https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/11589
e.g.:
npm install -g #angular/cli#1.5.0
It could be issue with your node version. I will suggest you to reinstall node and try it again.
Or you can also try to clean node cache of using npm cache clean --force
Please check this also Perhaps you are missing space- npm install -g #angular/cli#latest
I have recently upgraded my website from Bootstrap 2 to Bootstrap 3. In compiling the bootstrap.less, I am running into errors with the semi-colon separated parameters. The fix is apparently to upgrade to the most recent version of Lesscss. I have tried the following:
open a node.js command prompt and run the following
npm install less
This doesn't do the trick. What needs to be done to properly update lesscss?
Try to use this code:
npm update less
npm update -g less
If you just want to upgrade, use Slawa Eremkin's answer.
If you really want to see what's going on, open a node.js command prompt and run the following:
// list installed modules
npm list
npm list -g
// uninstall less
npm uninstall less
npm uninstall -g less
// test
npm list
npm list -g
// install
npm install less
npm install -g less
// test again
npm list
npm list -g
Done. Note: the -g flag is for globally install modules. I decided to uninstall and re-install both globally and otherwise, although I am not sure that this is required.
