Better late than never: I had a problem with a corrupt node js package downloaded by nvm. So I did the following to solve the problem:

  1. Remove the broken node version in %appdata%\nvm
  2. Download the "zip installer" from node.js homepage
  3. Unzip the file and place the subfolder with the corresponding naming pattern in %appdata%\nvm

rename generic to version number

nvm is simply changing symbolic links to the correct node version. So make sure you have the same folder pattern and structure as for a working version and it works like charm.

I was also using nvm. My problem was that the version was not properly being used.

Normally when running nvm list there is an asterisk (*) next to the current in-use version. But that was not the case (even after running nvm use x.x.x)

I installed a second node version and uninstalled the first one and reinstalled it. After that I could switch and run npm install.

The issue for me was that I am using nvm, and for reasons I don't yet know, when I try to set my node version to 12.14.0, and then run nvm list, no versions are selected. I went back to 13.8.0 and nvm list showed that 13.8.0 was selected.

Long story short, make sure you have a selected node version.

you should follow one of two option:

Option 1 – Setup by running the .msi installation file

  • Its a typical Windows installation and automated.
  • No need to add entries in environment varaiable

Option 2 – Setup by extracting .zip file

  • This method does not require admin access and can be used to install on nodejs on a system on which you dont have admin access such as you official laptop or desktop.
  • Removing nodejs is as simple as deleting the folder.
  • You will have to add entries in environment variable if you want to execute node command from any location in windows command prompt.
