- i think installed npm thru installer – Tanhaeirad Commented Mar 4, 2019 at 7:37
- like the other guy answered, use nvm instead of their installer. their installer doesnt really handle permissions well. – dardardardar Commented Mar 5, 2019 at 2:39

Reset to default 5- Remove
Node.js
from your system and all thenode_modules
. You can find more details on how to do that in this question. - Make sure everything is deleted by calling
which node
andnode -v
. These mands should give you an error (which is what we're going for here). - Install
nvm
. Then installNode.js
usingnvm
. - Never call
nvm
,node
ornpm
withsudo
. This will "lock" your modules and restrict them to thesudo
user and cause a lot of trouble.
