I'm trying to learn react, so I have this sample code for the full-stack react voting app, and I am trying to get it to work but after running npm install followed by npm start I receive the following error when I run npm start can anyone help me with this issue:

Step 1: $ npm cache clean --force
Step 2: Delete node_modules by $ rm -rf node_modules (rmdir /S /Q node_modules in windows) folder or delete it manually by going into the directory and right-click > delete / move to trash. If you are not updating your packages you can delete the package-lock.json file too.
Step 3: npm install
To start again,
$ npm start
This worked for me. Hopes it works for you too.
PS: Still if it is there, kindly check the error it is displaying in red and act accordingly. This error is specific to node.js environment.
Cleaning Cache and Node_module are not enough.
Follow this steps:
npm cache clean --force
delete node_modules folder
delete package-lock.json file
npm install
It works for me like this.
I resolve this error running following code
npm cache clean
then delete node_modules directory from my project structure manually or with following command
rm -rf node_modules
After That install dependencies again using
npm install
first i ran:
npm run clean
(even though it came with errors)
Then i deleted the node_modules folder and ran
npm install
This seems to have solved the problem.
I was getting similar error messages on a 16.04 Ubuntu instance with DigitalOcean while running npm run build on an app made with create-react-app (link). I upgraded the instance from 512MB RAM to 1GB ($5/mo to $10/mo) and then the script was able to run.
I post this here to point out that you may get this error due to resource limitations, which I didn't really see explained elsewhere on issue pages and SO answers. And nothing I saw in the error logs pointed me in this direction.
Change access in node_modules directory
chmod -R a+rwx ./node_modules
This solution is for Windows users.
You can open the node.js installer and give the installer some time to compute space requirements and then click next and click remove. This will remove node.js from your computer and again reopen the installer and install it in this path - C:\Windows\System32
or
Cleaning Cache and Node_module will work.
Follow this steps:
npm cache clean --force
delete node_modules folder
delete package-lock.json file
npm install
Faced this exact problem,
for me it worked by deleting package-lock.json and re-running npm install
If that doesn't resolve it try
delete package-lock.json
npm cache clean --force
npm install
npm start
Delete node_modules and package-lock.json, and then run npm install. It worked perfectly here(run command below inside project root):
rm -rf node_modules && rm ./package-lock.json && npm install
I was getting this npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE error while running a build. Clearing the cache and removing the package-lock.json files did not fix it.
In my case there was an Angular build running on a Docker image that was causing this. The root cause turned out to be running the build on Docker in MacOS, which runs the Docker inside a Linux VM, and has by default 2GB memory allocated.
Giving Docker more memory fixed this issue for me. Have to say, the error message could have been quite a bit more clear..
A helpful answer for me was Call retries were exceeded exception while ng build
workaround: Remove the lock file.
rm .\package-lock.json
source: https://github.com/mapbox/node-pre-gyp/issues/298 (floriantraber)
React Application: For me the issue was that after running npm install had some errors.
I've went with the recommendation npm audit fix. This operation broke my package.json and package-lock.json (changed version of packages and and structure of .json).
THE FIX WAS:
Delete node_modules
Run npm install
npm start
Hope this will be helpfull for someone.
npm install --unsafe-perm
worked for me. See https://docs.npmjs.com/. The --unsafe-perm parameter lets you run the scripts from the package instalation as root. The problem in my case was that some depandencies failed to install.
This solution fixed the error in Win10.
Please install globally npm install -g node-pre-gyp
i tried to solve this problem with this way
rm -rf node_modules && rm ./package-lock.json && npm install
But for me its not work.
I just restart my machine and its working perfectly.
Am Linux user ,Machine HP.
I recommend you update your node version to the latest node version recommended by your application or for short update your node version. I encountered this same problem using node version 11.1 but my application was recommending atleast version 10.x.x or 12.x.x
I tried all the suggested reply on this thread but non seemed to work for me untill only when i updated my node version to the recommended latest version .i.e. version 12.16.3 then my application ran.
I just wanted to do run npm run dist to apply some changes for SCSS files, but after hours of suffering, here's what worked for me:
npm cache clean --force
delete node_modules folder
delete package-lock.json file
sudo npm install npm#latest -g this will upgrade npm to latest version
npm audit fix --force
npm upgrade --force
npm install
After these I could finally compile SCSS files successfully with npm run dist.
Check for port availability as well if you encounter below message :

npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE

A possibly unexpected cause: you use Create React App with some warnings left unfixed, and the project fails on CI (e.g. GitLab CI/CD):
Treating warnings as errors because process.env.CI = true.
[ ... some warnings here ...]

npm ERR! errno 1
Solution: fix yo' warnings!
Alternative: use CI=false npm run build
See CRA issue #3657
(Ashamed to admit that it just happened to me; did not see it until a colleague pointed it out. Thanks Pascal!)
I'm using ubuntu 18.04 LTS release and I faced the same problem I tried to clean cache as above suggestions but it didn't work for me. However, I found another solution.
echo 65536 | sudo tee -a /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches
npm start
I run this command and it started to work
In my case, I actually ran into this error "code ELIFECYCLE" in a Jenkins job. I tried to clean npm cache but it didn't work and also checked the memory of the Jenkins build server which looks okay. Then, I found the compiling of the react project actually failed in Jenkins but not in my local or when manually running the build on the Jenkins build server, and Jenkins also mentioned "Treating warnings as errors because process.env.CI = true". It looks like the warnings in my project cause the error on Jenkins. Therefore, I changed CI to true in the Jenkins job for now. That actually fixed the build error of Jenkins before I cleared those warnings.
Try to reinstall the cli package globally. In my case, I was trying to test a Vue.js tutorial when I get the same error message. The other thing I did was run the vue command again but this time using webpack-simple and that is why I am not sure wich one solved the problem but now it is working.
The port is probably being used by another application, try listing and see if it's your application:
lsof -i:8080
You can kill the process of this port:
lsof -ti:8080 | xargs kill
I've been bothered by this issue for a long time. For me, the version of node was the problem.
My npm and node were 6.1.0 and 8.11.3, respectively. However, I didn't realize that I had updated my node accidentally to 12.*.*.
It then began to install GCX stuff whenever npm i, which was unnecessary before.
I downgraded my node to 8 and it worked!
Its weird but it works for me
Go to
control panel -->System and Security--> System --> Advanced System
Security--> Environment Variables
In Environment Variable popup you will edit the user variable PATH and add "C:\Windows\System32" value as semicolon separated to the existing value.
Not but not least restart the Machine.
I did follow steps, it works:
1.
npm cache clean --force
remove the package-lock.json file
restart my WebStorm
Usually killall node command fixes mine.
Resolved like this:
# chown -R <user>: node_modules
Make sure to use the latest npm version while installing packages using npm.
While installing JavaScript, mention the latest version of NodeJS. For example, while installing JavaScript using devtools, use the below code:
devtools i --javascript nodejs:10.15.1
This will download and install the mentioned NodeJS version. This worked for me.
I was issuing the npm start command with the folder of the project opened at Sublime Text. Closing ST and restarting the server did the work for me.
My Goal:wanna initialize Vue.js project by running commands vue init webpack myproject
Expected Result: install all the dependencies with no fatal error, AND would be able to start running the project by npm dev run,and run project on http://localhost:8080
ACTUAL Result:

I had the same problem when coding my app (MEVN) and using the command vue init webpack client.
So I did a bit of research notably on npm to see what was wrong and found this: https://www.npmjs.com/package/vue-cli so apparently you can't use this command anymore.
So if you wish to use the vue cli you need to install it trough npm install -g #vue/cli and then run vue create <dir name>
For further information you can look into the documentation: https://www.npmjs.com/package/#vue/cli with the documentation on the vuejs website: https://cli.vuejs.org/
Hope this helps and have fun coding
I am trying to run npm install on my terminal as part of the setup for angular-phonecat as per the instructions on https://docs.angularjs.org/tutorial
When I run the command I am getting issues with deprecated modules and errors when reaching the bower install section.
Does anybody know how I can update the deprecated modules to avoid the warnings and how I can fix the bower errors?
Here is the output I am receiving:

I have also tried running sudo npm install with the same issue. I have a feeling the bower install issues are due to the setup of the bower cache looking at the error output but I am not 100% certain.
Has anyone encountered similar issues when setting up the installation for angular-phonecat?
Any help would be greatly welcomed.

ISSUE: You (the user) don't have the right set of permissions for the directory.
The instant way out is to run the npm install using sudo, but this may give you the same error, or improper installation.
AND changing directory ownership is not a good option, a temporary patch. I am answering the question, as I feel I have a more elegant solution/suggestion to the problem. I came across same issues multiple times i.e. 'npm install -g #angular/cli'.
Uninstalled the package and executed the following commands (in the order mentioned) to have clean installation.
Solution/Suggestion: Change npm's Default Directory (from official docs)
Back-up your computer before moving forward.
(optional) In case you have a erroneous installation, first uninstall it:
npm uninstall <package-name> # use sudo if you used it while installation
npm cache verify # or, npm cache clean for npm version below 5.x.x
Make a directory for global installations:
mkdir ~/.npm-global
Configure npm to use the new directory path:
npm config set prefix '~/.npm-global'
Open or create a ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile file and add this line:
export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH
Back on the command line, update your system variables, or restart the terminal:
source ~/.profile
(optional) Test: Download a package globally without using sudo.
npm install -g jshint
Having looked into this it appears that bower was having issues with permissions and was resolved by running the bower install separately using sudo:
sudo bower install --allow-root
However, you should not use sudo with bower. It is likely that if you have to then the ~/.cache has been set incorrectly either by installing using sudo or installing your first package via sudo. More info about this can be found here: http://www.competa.com/blog/2014/12/how-to-run-npm-without-sudo/
Instead you should rectify the ownership by running the following:
sudo chown -R $user ~/.npm
sudo chown -R $user ~/.config
To find your user you can simply run the following command on the command line:
$ whoami
If you want to open to a wider group you can also add a group to the chown command. To find out which group your user belongs to you can type the following command:
$ groups
To set the group at the same time as the user simply change the command to the following and replace $user and $group with your desired user and group:
sudo chown -R $user:$group ~/.npm
sudo chown -R $user:$group ~/.config
If you are seeing an issue like one of the below when running a bower install during your npm install:
EACCES: permission denied, open '/some/directory'
EACCES: permission denied, unlink '/some/directory'
You will need to change the permissions to the folder containing the file to be your user by doing:
sudo chown -R USER /some/directory
Just change the folder that the file is stored in, not the file itself. When you run npm install after this it will work if it needs to install any bower components that are having issues installing while using your current user and not using sudo.

I am trying to install node in my mac..
i am getting the following error...
i downloaded the node from node site and ran that package...
can you guys tell me why i am facing that errror..when i do npm install
MacBook-Pro:~ Raj$ npm install

Running just "npm install" will look for dependencies listed in your package.json. The error you're getting says that you don't have a package.json file set up (or you're in the wrong directory).
If you're trying to install a specific package, you should use 'npm install {package name}'. See here for more info about the command.
Otherwise, you'll need to create a package.json file for your dependencies or go to the right directory and then run 'npm install'.
I had this problem when trying to run 'npm install' in a Terminal window which had been opened before installing Node.js.
Opening a new Terminal window (i.e. bash session) worked. (Presumably this provided the correct environment variables for npm to run correctly.)
In my case it was due to a bad URL (http:// instead of git://, no .git at the end) for one of the dependencies.
You're likely not in the node directory. Try switching to the directory that you unpacked node to and try running the command there.
In case it helps anyone else - my issue was a rookie error, I had a space in the name line of my package.json and it caused the dependencies to be unreadable.
I came across this, and my issue was using an older version of node (3.X), when a newer version was required.
The error message actually suggested this as well:
...
Make sure you have the latest version of node.js and npm installed
...
So the solution may be as simple as upgrading node/npm. You can easily do this using nvm, the "Node Version Manager"
After you've installed nvm, you can install and use the latest version of node by simply running this command:
nvm install node
For example:
$ nvm install node
Downloading https://nodejs.org/dist/v8.2.1/node-v8.2.1-darwin-x64.tar.xz...

Now using node v8.2.1 (npm v5.3.0)
$ node --version
v8.2.1
In mac you might have downloaded and installed Node js in
/Users/yourusername/Downloads/nodejs-todo-master , so go here and run npm install command, no need of sudo as well., you should get output like this...

First download json package file from https://github.com/npm/read-package-json
and then run npm install from terminal.
This is all because you are not in the desired directory. You need to first get into the desired directory. Mine was angular-phonecat directory. So I typed in cd angular-phonecat and then npm install.
If someone is in my situation facing this error and have tried all the above solutions, like:
you are in the right directory
you have a package.json file,
the JSON is valid,
you have tried to run %temp%
you have tried " npm install -d --save"
etc.
Mine worked by doing "npm install --force"
Note: This was also recommended in the error itself, which I didn't pay attention to earlier.
Even " Yarn install" worked.
npm install -d --save worked for me. -d flag command force npm to install your dependencies and --save will save the all updated dependencies in your package.json
For me I'm on windows 10 X64...
My code npm install on cmd failed
So instead of npm i used Yarn
Just type yarn install instead of npm install
This fixed my problem.Tried for 2 days finally found the best
solution
To install yarn , on cmd enter the following code
npm install --global yarn
To check if it has installed correctly enter the following code
yarn --version
Hey if you found error and it stuck while installing then try this
Open run and type %Temp% and delete all file
Then type prefetch on run app an delete all files then try it
These Will do the Job
npm install -g yarn
yarn install
or
npm install --force
Hey if you found error and stcuk while installing packages
,getting only three files like json file ,lock file and module file using yarn then try this using yarn.
Open run and type %Temp% and delete all file
Then type prefetch on run app an delete all files
Then type on CMD npx create -react-app it will give you all packages
