Trouble Installing Underscore with NPM

Node
1

Hi,

I am trying to install underscore but my npm version 5.5.1 does not support Node LTS v14.15.0

I have tried to uninstall/reinstall NodeJS. I also tried to update npm with npm install -g npm. Nothing seems to work. Can anyone help with this? I am new to NodeJS. Thank you.

Hi,
I actually struggled with this yesterday.
(and I think the error occurred because you downgraded your version of NPM to 5.5.1 to match Moshā€™sā€¦)
Hereā€™s what worked for me.
You do want to update NPM, and in order to do so you would have to delete the folders ā€˜npmā€™ and ā€˜npm-cacheā€™ at location ā€œ~AppData/Roamingā€ (press windows+r and then type ā€˜%AppData%ā€™ to get there)
then run: npm i -g npm@latest
hope this works

That was a tough one to find out, thanks a lot Adina, it did work although using a newer version than Mosh is using, hope I can keep up with the course compatibility.
Mosh is good but cannot do all the troubleshooting that comes up I understand.

Lots of luck, xavicwm!!!

I have similar issue but i have mac. So above does not work?

I have tried similar approach to update npm with below commands but no luck:

sudo npm install -g npm@latest
and
sudo npm install -g npm@next
and
sudo npm install -g npm@6.14.11

Fixed my own issue with reinstalling node.

Hi Adina, thanks for the tips. So, after npm i -g npm@latest, whatā€™s the next thing to do on the terminal? Still continue with the npm i -g parcel-bundler? I tried your steps but it didnā€™t work.

Hi Jayrix, when you reinstalled node to solve this problem, which version did you re-install? Did you use the LTS or the newest version?

Useful topic, thanks! :handshake:
