Errors while installing AWS Amplify CLI

Tried installing the CLI with the command given on the official website, this is the response :

npm install -g @aws-amplify/cli
npm WARN deprecated @types/[email protected]: This is a stub types definition. ora provides its own type definitions, so you do not need this installed.
npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: Use uuid module instead

I have installed the latest versions of node and npm. Fixing this would be really helpful. TIA

I was having the same issue. What worked for me was:

npm uninstall -g @aws-amplify/cli

npm install -g @aws-amplify/cli

Make sure your PC is connected to internet connection during all of this. If possible don't minimize the window, wait until everything is properly installed.

In my case, I just had to add sudo in front of my command line request on my Mac Command Line:

sudo npm install -g @aws-amplify/cli

Read a blogpost on this similar error and that author suggests to install typescript, which would fix the problem. Followed that advice, installed typescript and installed aws cli and voila! it worked!. No idea how, but it fixed my problem. Curious to know how, if anyone is aware of this please let me know in your answer. TIA
