failed to install with npm, invalid json response

I had already install npm before, but somehow I had to uninstall it for some reason. Now, i tried to install npm again to create react app with this command.

npx create-react-app ip_tracker

On a halfway installation I found this error

npm ERR! code FETCH_ERROR
npm ERR! errno FETCH_ERROR
npm ERR! invalid json response body at https://registry.npmjs.org/@babel%2fpreset-react reason: Unexpected end of JSON input

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /home/ngebelcilik/.npm/_logs/2020-11-27T14_34_28_241Z-debug.log

Here's the logs

I already doing research on this error, it's similiar with this problem, but this problem happened everytime I install any npm packages (not just react).

In my case I just ran the npm install again, it took a long time but it worked. It could have been a network issue.

Viral Patel comment solved it for me. Problem was solved by cleaning the local cache with.

npm cache clean --force

npm ERR! invalid json response body at https://registry.npmjs.org/@babel%2fpreset-react reason: Unexpected end of JSON input

This means you are getting bad JSON in the response. There could be a number of reasons you get that error ranging from a network issue on your end to an issue with the npm servers. fwiw that resource does return valid json for me...

Try to curl the resource and see if the response is JSON:

curl https://registry.npmjs.org/@babel%2fpreset-react | python -m json.tool
