node.js on Mac OS X npm "Error: No such module" - macos

I have installed node.js v0.8.8 both from the pkg installer and compiled from source. Yet I get the following error when trying to run npm. Any help would be appreciated.

I had the exact same issue upgrading from Node.JS 0.4 to 0.8. What worked for me was the following:
The OSX Node.JS package installer erroneously does not remove the old 0.4 npm installation in /usr/bin, which then conflicts with the new 0.8 one in /usr/local/bin. It just overwrites whatever is there already. I nuked the old one by deleting it, but to make sure, I decided a clean install would be better:
curl https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sudo clean=yes sh
There was one last problem: after the install, even though a which npm correctly returns /usr/local/bin/npm, bash kept trying to execute from /usr/bin. This is because on OSX, bash has hashed the executable name. The hashing saves repeated searches of all directories in your PATH every time you execute common programs. A hash -r at the command line took care of this issue.

You are most likely using an old NPM version somehow.

Vue init webpack test - not creating project - strict mode error?

I have tried to create a project using
$ vue init webpack test
and got following error
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/vue-cli/bin/vue-init:60 let template =
program.args[0]

Unfortunatly, "test" directory is not created.
I am using Bash on Ubuntu on Windows 10 and the following NPM packages:
vue#2.5.2
vue-cli#2.9.1
node.js#0.0.0
npm 3.5.2
Perhaps node verison is too low.
update your node version using
npm install -g n
sudo n stable
sudo npm install npm -g
when you node -v find there is no change, but try to init vue project again.

SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token when trying to run gulp

I am new to gulp but on a existing laravel project I needed to add some css I was told to update the app.sass and then run gulp to compile it. I tried to follow a guide called Compiling Assets (Laravel Elixir) to compile the sass file but ran into problems. To get everything installed correctly I updated our bootstrap.sh file in the vagrant setup to include nodejs, npm, gulp and laravel-elixir. Once the changes were made I loaded the vagrant box and I verified that I have the following versions.
[vagrant#localhost project-css]$ gulp -v
[18:12:38] CLI version 1.4.0
[18:12:38] Local version 3.9.1
[vagrant#localhost project-css]$ npm -v
3.10.10
[vagrant#localhost project-css]$ node -v
v6.11.1
When I try to run gulp I get
/vagrant/src/project-css/node_modules/through2/node_modules/readable-stream/lib/_stream_readable.js:349
if (n <= 0 || state.length === 0 && state.end

The full project I'm working on is available on github at Rockefeller-css
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I was able to resolve the issue on my own by adding the following to my bootstrap.sh file
rpm -ivh https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/http-parser/2.7.1/3.el7/x86_64/http-parser-2.7.1-3.el7.x86_64.rpm
yum install -y nodejs
Also after vagrant was finished loading and I was able to ssh into the box in a custom setup-vagrant.sh script that needed to be ran I was able to add the following command.
sudo npm install
Their was already a cd into the laravel project folder and their was a package.json file that existed. After that I was able to cd into the project folder and run gulp correctly.

In npm#3 subDependencies are installed at the same level of your project dependencies (./node_modules). My guess is the project is missing some dependencies to run the packager. If you haven't already done so, updgrade to npm#3 ($ npm install -g npm), delete your node_modules folder, then try again.
$ rm -rf node_modules && npm install

How to solve error message "Cannot find module 'abbrev'

My question is very similar to How do I resolve "Cannot find module" error using Node.js? but I cannot solve my problem using the information provided in the answer given.
I try to run the UNCSS grunt plugin, but when I try to install it (npm install grunt-uncss --save-dev), I get the following error:
$ npm install grunt-uncss --save-dev
module.js:340
throw err;
^

Based on the answer mentioned above, I tried installing this 'abbrev' module, both in project folder, and globally, but this yields the exact same error :(
npm install -g abbrev
module.js:340
throw err;
^
Error: Cannot find module 'abbrev'
at Function.Module._resolveFilename (modu
(ETCETERA)
Main question: How to I solve this error?
Sub questions:
1) I wonder, is this a RUBY error or a NODE.JS error? I noticed 'abbrev' is also a Ruby command...?
2) Or, could this problem have arisen because I tried to solve the bus error: 10 ? (http://shoogledesigns.com/blog/blog/2014/01/13/gruntjs-running-watch-task-waiting-bus-error-10/)
I hope this question doesn't sound too obvious. I'm a front-end developer, but far from a command-line guru!
For me it has been solved by updating npm itself:
sudo npm install -g npm
Solution: re-installing node.js, as I mention in my last comment.
Tell-tale was the very same error-message every time I ran NPM.
Removing node_modules and then reinstalling the modules specified in my package.json worked for me.
I did that by runnning the following commands:
rm -rf node_modules
npm install
Neither one of the other two answers solved it for me, but both together did.
I had a very similar issue. Removing the entire node_modules folder and re-installing it's worked for me. I did that by running the following commands:
rm -rf node_modules
npm install
Windows user here. I tried re-installing Node.js (using installer) and it did not help. I had to run the rm -rf node_modules to remove the "node_modules" folder at the location listed in the error (midway down).
In the OP example it was at
Object. (/usr/local/Cellar/node/0.10.20/lib/node_modules/
It was something like C:\Users\nick\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules

installing zmq module on redHat linux RHEL 6.2 64bit machine

Hi I am trying to install zmq module on a linux machine.Below are the steps that i followed
• Make sure you have the following packages installed (sudo apt-get install binutils libtool autoconf automake)
• Get the latest POSIX tarball (http://zeromq.org/intro:get-the-software) and untar it
• Run configure (./configure)
• Run make (sudo make install)
• npm install zmq or npm update if you already have it listed in your package.json
• sudo ldconfig (otherwise you might get the error "connot open shared object file")
But when i ran the above steps i got the error as below
Error: libzmq.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
at Module.load (module.js:356:32)
at Function.Module._load (module.js:312:12)

at Module.require (module.js:364:17)
I'm stuck here any help regarding this will be much helpful
The error you are getting is that libzmq.so cannot not found.
You need to add the install directory (defaults to /usr/local/lib) to LD_PATH.
To add it you need to execute:
sudo echo "/usr/local/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/local-lib.conf
sudo ldconfig
Hope this works.
