Unable to install React Native cli on Mac using npm!
I have tried uninstalling both node and npm and trying the command npm install -g react-native-cli.
Also tried this,
"If you get an error like Cannot find module 'npmlog', try installing npm directly: curl -0 -L https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sudo sh"
Use sudo npm install -g react-native-cli
Also, you can use Yarn!

yarn command not found after installing via npm
(8 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
I'm trying to install metronic on my computer and for this I need to have yarn installed. So I ran the command :
npm install --global yarn
/Users/cbarrial/.npm-global/bin/yarn -> /Users/cbarrial/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/yarn/bin/yarn.js
/Users/cbarrial/.npm-global/bin/yarnpkg -> /Users/cbarrial/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/yarn/bin/yarn.js
+ yarn#1.16.0
updated 1 package in 0.376s
So I guess the installation is working fine but then if I try the yarn command I'm getting this :
yarn --version
-bash: yarn: command not found
I have no idea where the problem could come from, I already have the latest npm and node.js installed and working fine.
You can install yarn in the next way:
sudo apt-get install curl # Only if you don't have installed curl
curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install yarn
This way is an alternative to install yarn on debian/ubuntu, but you can find the alternative installation for different operative systems in the official page for Yarn in the section Alternatives
I'm running it on Ubuntu.
when I try to run: npm install -g jfrog-cli-go
I get:
And when I try the other option of running it using curl, it gives the feeling like it succeeded but when I try to run
> jfrog
it doesn't recognize the command curl -fL https://getcli.jfrog.io | sh
I get:
the jfrog-cli version that I'm using is: 1.17.1
Can anyone tell me what's the problem here?
npm:
For npm in Ubuntu please use --unsafe-perm=true flag:
sudo npm install -g jfrog-cli-go --unsafe-perm=true.
Please see the npm package documentation for more info.
curl: Curl will download jfrog cli to your current working directory. After this, you can either run it locally by running ./jfrog or moving it to Ubuntu's execution path, e.g. sudo mv ./jfrog /usr/local/bin/
For reasons unknown to me, I haven't been able to update to the latest version of npm on macOS (it works fine on Windows). It displays no error, only 'updated 1 package'.
Using Node.js 8.11.1
node -v
v8.11.1
What version of npm do I have?
$ npm -v
5.6.0
I tried this...
$ npm i -g npm
+ npm#5.8.0
updated 1 package in 7.37s
And it fails to update.
$ npm -v
5.6.0
Where is npm?
$ which npm
/usr/local/bin/npm
So I try brew...
brew install npm
And it fails...
$ npm -v
5.6.0
*And then I tried this... *
npm install npm#latest -g
+ npm#5.8.0
updated 1 package in 7.618s
And it fails...
npm -v
5.6.0
With sudo:
sudo npm i -g npm
+ npm#5.8.0
updated 1 package in 7.794s
And it fails...
npm -v
5.6.0
This also fails...
sudo npm install npm#latest -g
I followed the directions found on this Q&A, completely removing npm and node from my system and reinstalling them from scratch, and it also fails to update.
Screenshot, per request:
Close the terminal, and then re-open the terminal and running:
$ npm -v
5.6.0
sudo twice:
$ sudo npm i -g npm
+ npm#5.8.0
updated 1 package in 7.478s
$ sudo npm i -g npm
+ npm#5.8.0
updated 1 package in 7.434s
Also fails:
$ npm -v
5.6.0
What did I miss? What's going on here?
This works on my mac.
Based on docs https://docs.npmjs.com/troubleshooting/try-the-latest-stable-version-of-npm :
npm install -g npm#latest
There is a note stated on the docs that depends on your installation method, you might addd some sudo.
Upgrading on *nix (OSX, Linux, etc.)
(You may need to prefix these commands with sudo, especially on Linux,
or OS X if you installed Node using its default installer.)
npm install -g npm#latest
works fine!!
and you can also replace the latest for specific versions
like
npm install -g npm#5.6.0
I hope it will help!!!
Perhaps you have already solved this, but here is what I found when I had exactly this issue. I had 2 versions of npm installed.
I verified this as follows:
grep \"version\" ~/.npm-packages/lib/node_modules/npm/package.json
"version": "6.2.0"
grep \"version\" /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/package.json
"version": "5.6.0",
I worked around the issue by updating the path in my bash profile, but would like to know why (how) I ended up with 2 versions. Here is the update:
tail -2 ~/.bash_profile
NPM_PACKAGES="${HOME}/.npm-packages"
PATH="$NPM_PACKAGES/bin:$PATH"
In my case, none of the previous answers worked. For me, a working solution was a simple, five-step process.
Make sure (the old version of) npm is installed.
npm -v
If npm is not installed, then install it on the Mac with Node.js.
Globally installed the desired version of npm.
npm install -g npm#latest
This command uses the old version of npm (installed by Node), to globally install the latest version of npm at ~/.npm-global/. Once installed, close and open a new terminal shell.
Remove the old version of npm installed by Node
rm -r /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/
Sometimes this doesn't work, so I had to go into finder to delete the /npm/ folder.
Make sure to set the correct path variable.
echo $PATH
If ~/.npm-global/bin does not show up between the colons, then update the path variable. Open up ~/.zshrc in a text editor and add the following line. If you don't use zsh, open the profile for your corresponding shell (i.e. ~/.bash_profile)
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.npm-global/bin
Save your changes and close the text editor.
Close and reopen the terminal shell and run npm -v to check that npm is correctly on the latest version.
The reason for updating the path variable is because the npm cli suggests you update npm with npm install -g npm which will install npm at a different location than where Node installs npm originally.
In my case, only the following has helped:
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules
sudo rm -rf ~/.npm
brew uninstall --ignore-dependencies node
brew install node
EDIT NOV 21: These days, I bypass brew entirely and use "n":
https://www.npmjs.com/package/n
And so I can change between versions too.
I faced the same problem.
You might have already installed the npm version, and now it is time to point the new npm version install. You can do that by following below steps.
sudo nano /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/package.json
change "version" : "5.6.0" to "verison": "5.8.0"
In my case, I'm using nvm to manage different versions of node. In order to upgrade npm version, I have to
1 - Install the latest version of npm by navigating to your current
version of node
cd ~/.nvm/versions/node/v10.9.0
npm install npm
or you can probably use
nvm install-latest-npm
2 - Edit $PATH to point to your current version of node
NPM_PACKAGES="${HOME}/.nvm/versions/node/v10.9.0"
PATH="$NPM_PACKAGES/bin:$PATH"
On my macOS the homebrew-installed npm did not want to upgrade due to pre-existing link file. I ran the install with --force flag and now things are okay.
$ npm --version
6.14.16
$ npm install -g npm#8
npm ERR! EEXIST: file already exists, symlink ...
$ npm install -g --force npm#8
npm WARN using --force I sure hope you know what you are doing.
+ npm#8.19.2
$ npm --version
8.19.2
Note also that in my case, no 'sudo' was required, thanks to homebrew. To check if your npm is installed with homebrew, use brew list.
$ brew list | grep node
node#12
I keep having this problem so I uninstalled homebrew and tried to uninstall npm, but it did not work. I installed homebrew again and then typed "brew install npm." It returned "Warning: node-0.12.7 already installed." I then tried to use npm with the following command: "npm install -g mup" and it returned "-bash: npm: command not found."
I have trouble uninstalling npm because on the site it uses npm to uninstall npm... Otherwise, it denies me permission. How can I get around this so that I can install mup with "npm install -g mup"? What's weird is that it was working earlier but now it is failing me. Thank you.
Try this
cd ~
sudo rm -rf .npm
brew update
brew uninstall npm
brew install npm
