i can't install any node packages with npm install

Time:04-07

I try to install node packeges with nmp. When i run, it says:

up to date, audited 356 packages in 7s

found 0 vulnerabilities

I see it as a dependency in my package-json like this:

"dependencies": {
    "express": "*",
    "nodemon": "*"
  }

but there is no node_modules was installed..

Hope someone can help.

These commands solve the same problem and have a look at the attached links.

Can't install anything using "npm install"

npm install -g npm
npm cache clean
npm update
npm install

There are a few fixes to this issue.


The first one is to install the dependencies manually, as so.

$ npm install -s express nodemon

The command should install express and nodemon at the latest versions.


The second option is to run a few commands, as so (in the order given).

$ npm install -g npm
$ npm cache clean --force
$ npm update
$ npm install

Basically, these are what the commands do (from 1-4).

  1. This installs npm from npm (sounds weird, but there is an npm package).
  2. This command forcefully cleans out the cache of npm.
  3. As you can tell, npm update updates npm!
  4. Finally, this command should be run in a directory where there is a package.json file. This installs all the dependencies listed in package.json.

Don't type out the $ in the terminal examples!
