too few information to make any inference, closing. If you are looking for general help or support rather than reporting a perceived node bug, report it here (https://github.com/nodejs/help/issues) - with clear problem description, expected and actual outcome, and if possibly with a sample code.
I was using node js (v6.10.3) and npm (v3.10.10). When I started learning react JS, some of my friends insisted me to upgrade my node version to the latest. So, I uninstalled the older version and installed new version of Node JS(v8.10.0) and npm (v5.6.0). After that I cannot install any npm package. I tried uninstalling node js, removing npm files and reinstalled a lot of times. But I still face the same issue. Here I've attached the screenshot of the issue I received.
Now, when I downgrade my nodejs version, npm install is working like earlier.
Anyone, please tell me, what is the below issue and does it cause because of the newer LTS version.
Platform: Windows 10 (64-bit)
/cc @addaleax - who may have information on the zlib issue ?could this be related to #16649 ?
You might have a wrong cache file in your local. Trying npm cache clean --force would help you.
