Trying to run "npm" always results in the following error message:

What's the output of termux-info?
Are you using nodejs or nodejs-lts?

I've pushed an update to the master branch and opened a PR for the android-5 branch with a fix.

If you feel adventurous and don't want to wait then you could switch to the new repo by editing $PREFIX/etc/apt/sources.list and replace
deb https://termux.net stable main
with
deb https://dl.bintray.com/termux/termux-packages-24 stable main
(See https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Bintray_package_hosting for more information)

This will subscribe you to the new android 7 (and newer) repo which is currently being tested. The switch to this new repo will happen within a few weeks anyways.
But note that it is for devices with android 7 and newer only

Closing this as it is fixed (on the master branch).

Changed the list, a lot of everething, including nodejs have upgraded while apt update && apt upgrade.

npm -v is OK
npm i is Bad system call during installation.
