npm rebuild doesn't work when trying to fix different node module version error

I'm getting an error where the better_sqlite3 package is using a different version of node, and it says to try npm rebuild and npm install but this doesn't solve anything and I'm still getting the same error.

I don't think this is an error with better-sqlite3 itself, since I've done some research and a lot of people have gotten this sort of error, and the general solution is to execute npm rebuild but for me this doesn't do anything.

Solved the issue, I was using an outdated version of node as I was using node v16.13.2 so I tried switching to the most latest version (v17.4.0 as of now) and it works like a charm now.

I have a better_sqlite3.node error when i require quick.db

i dont have errors when i install but when i require quick.db in my main.js (its a discord.js bot in v12)
const db = require('quick.db')
i have an better_sqlite3.node error in my terminal

PS C:\Users\Fatsah\Desktop\Wizzy Bot>
i tried to reinstall and update node.js into the last test
Node version : v16.7.0
Discord.js : v12.5.3
Npm Version : 7.20.3
I have this error not long ago, when I was using node v14 and I have the same with canvas / canvacord but is canvas.node

Reinstall all your dependencies, you probably upgraded Node after you installed better-sqlite3 and you need to rebuild the library again.

I installed Node.js but I can't use npm on windows

I have installed node.js. Node seems to be working properly, however, npm is not being found, as you can see below.
C:\Users\jpdrc>node -v
v6.5.0
C:\Users\jpdrc>node hello.js
node is installed!
C:\Users\jpdrc>npm -v

I have tried multiple solutions as the ones presented:
1- Windows -installed node.js but npm not found
2- Installing Node.js (and npm) on Windows 10
I have no idea what to try next
Thanks for the assistance
Here are my variables under path
As suggested below I have used where npm
C:\Users\jpdrc>where npm
C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm
C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm.cmd

Steps for solving the above issue:
Check that you have added the path of node in environment variable "path"
If it is there then check that npm is there in the directory which you have added in the path.
If npm is there in the required folder then go to CMD and then go to directory where npm is installed and try to run the version command again. If still you are getting the same issue then there could be two possibilities:
a. Installation is incorrect, try installing again
b. There could be proxy issue due to which packages are not getting downloaded
There cannot be any other issue.

You should be able to run the npm -v in the git bash terminal window. If you don't even have the git-bash app, then download and install git on your Windows.

module.js:327 Error: Cannot find module 'express'

Hello I am new in a nodejs and when I run any file in command prompt like:-
C:\demoData>node demo.js
I get error li9ke this

I did R&D and get the solution
npm install express
And my Problem has solved using this. But Why I required this I have already express folder globally.this path
C:\Users\broswire\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules;
I want to use this node_modules, I don't want locally node_modules.

Node encourages using locally installed modules. Generally, using modules installed with npm install --global or npm install -g should be reserved for cli tools and things used systemwide. So to use express in a project, it is recommended to npm install express in that directory. It is also useful to add a package.json file to save the versions of your dependencies. Then you can just navigate to your project and run npm install and it will install the required dependencies.

Sails lift error 'Cannot find module 'express/node_modules/cookie'

I am trying to create my first sails app and I've followed the steps on the sails getting started (http://sailsjs.org/get-started). But when i try to do a sails lift, i get the following error:
(node:11291) fs: re-evaluating native module sources is not supported. If you are using the graceful-fs module, please update it to a more recent version.

I tried manually removing the 'node_modules' folder, inserting express as a dependency in my package.json and running 'npm install', but that did not work.
Im running Node v6.2.2 Sail v0.10.5 and NPM v3.10.6
What am i missing here?

update sails version to latest, it is issue of npm structure, old version use tree level dependency while new version use same level structure
sails upgrade version

It's a dependency issue with npm, this worked for me when I had the issue.
npm -g install npm#latest
