Node.js: npm doesn't install anymore - node.js

I don't know what I did wrong, but trying to install a module using npm returns errors. My concrete example (same results, no matter which module I would like to install):
npm install socket.io
Returns:
npm ERR! TypeError: Cannot call method 'replace' of undefined

Any idea? Thanks in advance :)

This error is usually caused by a .git directory in current directory on which no commit has been made.
Either remove the directory or make at least one commit before trying npm again.
EDIT: From this npm issue page;
This issue has been fixed in the latest release. Please update to the latest node and npm (v0.8.17 and v1.2.0, respectively)

and it got stuck , is there anyother way to install jitsi-meet and make it working ??
Regards,
The Node and npm versions you're using are way too old. In order to build Jitsi Meet you need at least Node 6 and npm 3: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet#building-the-sources
Latest Jitsi works on node lts version. If you using an ubuntu environment then you have to install n and after that, you can easily change your node enviroment.

NPM ERR! When trying to run Meteor project

I'm trying to view someone else's Meteor project from Github. I cloned it then tried running it by typing 'meteor' but what results is this slew of errors. I've included a sample below. I am running the command prompt as administrator. Clearly this has something to do with Node or its packages but I'm at a loss of where I should go with this. If someone could give me a hint I would be grateful.

Try running the CMD / Powershell with Administrator (Run as Administrator). and then install npm dependencies as Github usually don't store them do: npm install and npm start. If you keep getting the errors. go to C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\
or where your nodejs is installed and do right click, choose 'Properties' and go to 'Security' tab and give privileges to the user you need and try running npm install. Good luck
This worked in my particular case:
Remove meteorhacks and npm-container by typing this in the console:
meteor remove meteorhacks:npm npm-container
Delete the 'npm-container' folder which is generated by the package.
Run 'npm init' to create a package.json
Copy the contents of packages.json to the dependencies section of package.json

I've tried sudo npm install cube, but it doesn't work too.
I've search the error info by google and sf, I got nothing.
I've found the error:
the official source is not available:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/websocket-server
It's seems the developer's website is closed...
I found the solution by browse the ResqueBoard Issues
Try this:
cd node_modules/
git clone https://github.com/miksago/node-websocket-server
mv node-websocket-server websocket-server
cd..
npm install cube
use the node-websocket-server to replace websocket-server.

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

Looks like your auth is set to something that doesn't work. Not clear how that happened -- perhaps check your /home/kelvin/.npmrc for a stray config? Shooting in the dark a bit. I would try npm mailing list if you don't find something in the rc.

isaacs: "The master branch from git is often unstable. This is fixed in HEAD already."
Solved after git pull, and make install.
