Sounds like your is-number package is broken. Try to to clear your cache they install again? Something like npm cache clear then npm i

i had the same error, and clearing the cache didnt resolve it for me.

[loremarguimaraes]

It worked for me, thanks!

[crownlessking]

Clearing the cache did not work for me.

Looks like Malware bytes blocking some of npm installation folders, pausing the antivirus should help in some of the cases

The following trick worked for me:

1. I added an entry for nodemon in my package.json and specified a version
2. Hit "npm install" in the terminal. Finally, I could see nodemailer folder in the node_modules.
3. Added an entry in my package.json as follows:
   "scripts": {
   "serve": "nodemon server.js" //server.js being my launch file
   }
4. Hit "npm run serve"

And, nodemon started working like a charm for me.

npm cache clear didn't work until i added --force flag. So, run,
npm cache clear --force if npm cache clear doesn't work.
Hopefully, this helps someone.
