Answer 1

I faced the same issue with npm. In my situation I had the project folder on Github. Please delete the local copy of the project folder entirely. Clone the project again to local and run the npm i command inside the project directory. I am assuming you are trying to install the packages installed in dependencies mentioned in package.json.

I used VSCode in administrator mode, have windows 10 :build 19041.508 and Using WSL 2.0.

This is a common issue in the new version of npm. It has been brought to their attention. I believe you can fix the issue by creating a new root directory for your project and paste everything but your node_modules folder in it. Then try npm install

your path might be incorrect... go to your directory and press right click with shift and select command prompt then execute your command...
