My Question

I'm assuming this is just me and not everyone, else there would certainly be an uproar among developers. But I'm not sure how to tackle this issue. Should I uninstall node/npm entirely and start over? If so, what's the best way to do that?

Answer 1

we were experiencing this same issue this morning, deleting the npmrc file worked for us, hope that helps! rm ~/.npmrc
