Cannot find module 'npmlog'

Question

Hello I receive the following message when trying to install npm. I downloaded the most recent node.js but it doesn't seem to download npm. I keep getting the belowenter code here error message after deleting node.js and reinstalling it.

When I try installing node.js I don't see the following being created:

    C:\Users\Efren Barragan\AppData\Roaming\npm 

This is the first time installing node.js. I just installed it on my old computer and it worked out fine. I am new to this so so your patience is much appreciated! Thanks!

C:\Users\Efren Barragan> npm install npm -g
module.js:327
throw err;
^

Answer 1

Due to the bug in versions this is what i did -

I have faced the same issue in my Windows 10 PC. After looking into solutions, since i couldn't find the exact solution for the issue i was facing Cannot find module 'npmlog' I just uninstalled the node js and then, deleted both 'npm' and 'npm-cache' in "C:\Users\YourPCName\AppData\Roaming"

Then, i downloaded the latest version of node from Node JS Website

And, installed node js

After that i checked with the path in environment variables.

Finally run the command prompt 'run as administrator' and npm install npm -g

Checking your version will show the latest version. 'npm -v'

I got the latest version - v3.10.9

Try this. this should work.

Install a newer version, it's been a bug in previous version.
