@lewsea try removing node & npm completely and re-install. see if that fixes the issue.

[lewsea]

@detj already did that 😑 but still get the same error

[ljharb]

@lewsea can you try npm install -g npm@next-7 and see if that works?

Sometimes I see the same error on Win10 / Node14.13.1 / Npm7. I was deleting all cache, reinstalling nodejs and npm, but error is still there. It may be related to an unstable network connection...

[kaznovac]

npm cache verify this fixed this problem for me

[Shreeyag29]

the same issue tried all above all solutions but still same error

[lewsea]

@Shreeyag29 it do be like that sometimes

[Indieaiden]

ignore my previous comment about npm cache verify, i just got lucky while installing (1600-1700 packages)

this seems to have something with network state and/or network tools (bunch of errors while trying yarn install might be a hint); i've disabled little snitch and adguard also switched to cell hotspot, and installation worked (don't have time to experiment further, deadline is tomorrow xD)

[lewsea]

@kaznovac yeah i think it has something to do with network/firewalls and antivirus software, good thing it worked for you
