How can i solve NPM err when i get the npm ERR! code E404-CodePudding

I have just created a new laravel application to implement a chat app. I wanted to scallfold the application using bootstrap but am getting this error :

npm ERR! code E404
npm ERR! 404 Not Found - GET https://registry.npmjs.org/33998 - Not found
npm ERR! 404 
npm ERR! 404  '33998@*' is not in this registry.
npm ERR! 404

How can i solve it?

I tried running composer update to see if im missing some dependencies. I was wrong. I also runnpm install && npm run devit still did not work

CodePudding user response：

Try to run these commands:

npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org

npm -g install npm

npm cache clean -f

After that try to run your project with:

npm run dev

CodePudding user response：

This error is just because of the package 33998 could not be found in the npm registry.

For solution you need to install bootstrap package in your application manually.

For installing BootStrap Use

npm install bootstrap

Also clean the cache of npm forcefully by

npm cache clean --force

Also check the latest npm version and update it if it was to old.

npm -v

npm install -g npm
