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 Mosh’s…)
Here’s what worked for me.
You do want to update NPM, and in order to do so you would have to delete the folders ‘npm’ and ‘npm-cache’ at location “~AppData/Roaming” (press windows+r and then type ‘%AppData%’ to get there)
then run: npm i -g npm@latest
hope this works
Hi Adina,
It worked! You are a lifesaver. Thank you!
Yay!!
So glad to be able to help with my little experience… 
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 [email protected]

Fixed my own issue with reinstalling node.
Hi Adina, thanks for the tips. So, after npm i -g npm@latest, what’s the next thing to do on the terminal? Still continue with the npm i -g parcel-bundler? I tried your steps but it didn’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! 
Thank you, did it too, and it’s work for me!!!
I re-installed on the Mac and that worked for me. Thanks…
Thanks a lot, Adina . this worked perfectly
Thank you! I have looked around for two days and many hours to find this solution.
