It isn't recommended to install windows-build-tools, as it is deprecated, and there are build tools from the Node.js installer.
To install it, follow the steps below.
Head to nodejs.org, and download and run the LTS installer.
On the page where it asks you about installing the build tools, check the box.
When the installation has concluded, a PowerShell window will open and run the commands to install the tools.
EDIT: According to LeMIT's comment,
A complete uninstallation of Node.js, Python, and Visual Studio (including a registry cleanup) helped me.
This should install the build tools.

My app uses sass, not node-sass. node-sass is nowhere in my package-lock.json.
I'm currently using npm 6 and everything is working fine and has been for years.
When I try to npm install with npm 7, it fails with the below error.
What's going on? Maybe node-sass is a dev dependency of something else and being built?

You might be using a version of Node or npm that are not compatible with the version of node-sass that is being pulled. node-sass publishes this table that shows the range of supported versions for any toolchain version. If one of your dependencies is pulling node-sass, you could force your desired version by explicitly specifying node-sass as a direct dependency. You could also consider upgrading Node or npm as an alternative.
To see what would happen I tried npm install --package-lock-only, and it succeeded. I could then see the dependency tree. node_modules/sass-loader has node-sass as a peer dependency.
npm7 installs peer dependencies by default and doesn't allow getting into an ambiguous state. (more info: https://stackoverflow.com/a/22004559/168143 )
So, that's why this was happening. I don't know if I wasn't reading the stack trace well enough or if there is some other standard way for me to have figured out what had the dependencies. I'll leave this question without an accepted answer just in case someone has a smarter way to diagnose this sort of thing.

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.

Solution: fix yo' warnings!

(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.
I am using reactjs and am unable to install any packages using npm install. The error message I'm getting is :

I am not even able to uninstall npm and reinstall it as I am getting the same error when I try to uninstall. What is the issue here and how do I fix it?
I got into this situation with an old version of the n node version switcher (~v2), having switched onto Node v12. I was able to fix it by switching to a much older version of Node it had installed using n, v8 worked for me, and then upgrade the version switcher with sudo npm install -g n.
From there I could switch to any version of node and use npm again.
The reason for the error was probably conflicting global packages and node versions. I uninstalled node and npm and then reinstalled them.
To remove nodejs and associated packages (like npm):
sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove nodejs
Nodejs and npm will leave files in the system which may cause issues during reinstallation. I had to remove them as well.
Although it is a bad practice to remove packages manually (it may cause problems with the package manager), it helped my case. This answer shows how to remove nodejs and related files manually.
To reinstall them:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo apt-get install npm
So I have recently faced a very similar problem when I was trying to run a react project in my Windows 10 x64 PC. Although I installed Node.js v12.13.0 (+ npm v6.12.0) x64; I couldn't execute npm install command, as it would give me this same error (Cannot read property 'resolve' of undefined).
Then according to this comment, I uninstalled the x64 version of Node.js and then installed the x86 version. After this, I could execute the npm install command successfully.
Anyone having this issue and have scrolled this far, if you are installing node manually and you have nvm installed then this might be the issue, don't do it manually, and don't uninstall nvm to fix the issue, just let nvm install the version for you rather than doing it manually, if you don't have nvm installed and you are lost trying upgrading/downgrading node/npm versions, then install nvm and let it handle all these things for you.
Use nvm install x.x.x, then nvm use x.x.x, and everything worked just fine.
more about nvm
The problem may occur if you are using node version manager(nvm) try uninstalling it , i had the same issue and i uninstalled nvm and tried it .
Worked with all versions of node . (worked fine with node 10.15.3,10.16 and 12.7)
I installed Node sometime ago (approximately 1 year ago) and npm worked properly.
The node version was 10.15.3. After the install and having written a few small apps - I did not work with Node again until today. Trying to install express with npm - I got the error of: "npm ERR! Cannot read property 'resolve' of undefined" even though it had worked previously.
Noting that the Node version was old, I uninstalled and installed the latest version.
In my case, I installed into the c:\NodeJs folder (where it was installed previously).
This made no difference - I got the same error.
I then uninstalled and re-installed into the default folder of c:\Program Files\nodejs and npm works again. Hopefully this might help someone else
I encountered the same issue on Windows 10.
After uninstalling node and reinstalling a newer version, I got the error "Cannot read property 'resolve' of undefined".
I then uninstalled again, manually deleted the complete installation folder (which was not removed during uninstallation !) and reinstalled the newer node release.
After that, everything worked just fine.
The same issue occurred for me on FreeBSD after I tried to update a really outdated node installation.
After removing node and npm packages (pkg delete node8-8.16.2) I had to manually remove /usr/local/lib/node_modules directory (some npm dependencies had been left behind and that caused the problem).
Instead of version 12.18.3 install version https://nodejs.org/dist/v10.15.3/node-v10.15.3-x64.msi . It will work perfectly.
There is some issue with the new node version and npm compatibility, install version [https://nodejs.org/dist/v10.15.3/node-v10.15.3-x64.msi] It will work perfectly.
I'm getting this error while running npm install on project. The additional information about this issue below,

Just install older version of Nodejs with nodebrew.
curl -L git.io/nodebrew | perl - setup
Add the following to ~/.bashrc
export PATH=$HOME/.nodebrew/current/bin:$PATH
Refresh console
source ~/.bashrc
Install older version
nodebrew install-binary v0.12.7
nodebrew use v0.12.7
Then try again!
It looks like this version is no longer compatible. I get the same errors on my system. Either you need to downgrade node to the supported version, or upgrade the dependencies that require node-sass#0.9.6.
Latest version of node-sass is 3.4.2.
In case someone runs into trouble with nodebrew, it's also possible to use nvm (node version manager) to downgrade your node version. Project on Github
On OSX El Capitan, I needed this for the installation:
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.31.0/install.sh | bash
. ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
Mind the last line, as it's slightly different from the install instruction on github.
As mentioned by Yosuke Sato, v0.12.7 is compatible with node-sass#0.9.6, so you'd need
nvm install v0.12.7 or nvm use v0.12.7 (if you have it installed already)
This will use the older node version, but only in the current terminal window/tab.
nvm use v0.12.7 in the project directory followed by npm install solved the problem for me -- the error occurred as I was trying to set up broccoli-taco, a static site generator. Thanks for tip, I am glad I googled you up.
