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. ![2020-11-02 (3)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/codewithmosh/original/1X/2546e0dcfb2a6e83671a6af8800b2e862ee41c89.png) ---

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 ---

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. ---

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

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? ---
