That’s weird, there should be no /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/cmd-shim/node_modules/graceful-fs at all – how/from where did you install npm?

ralphtheninja · 2016-10-29T13:44:46Z

I'm using n to install my node versions

addaleax · 2016-10-29T13:48:57Z

There is no such file in the v7.0.0 tarball either, which is what n usually uses… are you sure you are using npm as it is packaged with Node?

ralphtheninja · 2016-10-29T13:49:08Z

Related issue https://gist.github.com/suissa/528c3e9e264f23378c2b0d36571de2dc (Also seem to use n)

ralphtheninja · 2016-10-29T13:54:14Z

Which version of npm should be installed with node 7.0.0? Is 3.10.8 correct?

gibfahn · 2016-10-29T13:58:15Z

@ralphtheninja Yep: https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/v7.0.0/deps/npm/package.json#L2

ralphtheninja · 2016-10-29T14:38:30Z

I wiped everything in /usr/local/lib/node_modules and reinstalled and now it works fine. Thanks for rubber ducking guys!

hustshawn · 2017-01-06T02:21:01Z

[Solved] In my case, I installed node7 with .pkg in my Mac, and occurred the same error. Then I removed the /usr/local/lib/node_modules but find npm gone. Finally, I installed with .pkg again, and the issue cleared. Hope it helps to someone.

pr-201 · 2017-01-06T10:00:55Z

helped total reinstall nodeJS.

bollogo · 2017-01-20T09:12:20Z

For me removing the /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm directory and then switching with n between an old version and back to the stable version solved the issue, that way, there is no need for cleaning the entire node_modules directory.

AndrewEQ · 2017-01-24T07:48:39Z

I did a similar thing to @bollogo:

switched to old version with n
deleted npm folder ( /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm )
switched to new version with n
:)

rafaellavm · 2017-01-25T16:13:01Z

I had the same problem, so I decided to delete the version 7.0 and install the older version, 6. So i solved this problem

rafaellavm · 2017-01-25T16:14:55Z

oh, yes, after i delete the version 7.0 i deleted too the folder 'node_modules'. So i install the version 6...

Pierpaolo1992 · 2017-02-08T09:28:28Z

i have this problem; i've tried your solution but problem remains. Node version: 7.5.0; npm version: 4.1.2

vrusua · 2017-02-11T10:46:59Z

I have the same issue, Node version: 7.5.0; npm version: 4.1.2

ralphtheninja · 2017-02-11T12:55:43Z

It seems to me that this was not a temporary problem since people keep having it and even running the latest version of node. Re-opening in hope to get some input.

bnoordhuis · 2017-02-11T13:13:15Z

There have been a couple of other bug reports but they all were able to fix it with either a clean reinstall or fixing up their dependencies (npm flattening + broad version range = outdated dep.)

I have no reason to believe it's an issue with node itself so I'll go ahead and close this out again if you don't mind.

wmill · 2017-02-23T15:34:56Z

If you installed using n try removing ~/n/lib/node_modules

Wirone · 2017-03-21T12:01:17Z

I ran into the same issue on Windows after installing Node 7.7.3 into previous' installation folder (0.12.*).

npm installed with installer was 4.1.2, so I've downloaded newest npm (4.4.1) from registry and unpacked it into Node's node_modules. It works now :-)

stsmurf · 2017-03-22T18:21:23Z

I ran into this same problem installing with brew.
After deleting /usr/local/lib/node_modules as well as my local projects node_modules directory, and reinstalling node, I still had the issue.

Deleting ~/.node fixed the issue.

hanakin · 2017-03-27T01:54:52Z

this seems to be an issue with gulp requiring an old versions of graceful-fs

npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: graceful-fs v3.0.0 and before will fail on node releases >= v7.0. Please update to graceful-fs@^4.0.0 as soon as possible. Use 'npm ls graceful-fs' to find it in the tree.

kyawthetkt · 2017-05-03T08:45:05Z

I solved by first renaming npm folder to npm_todelete folder in C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules dir
And then run npm i -g npm@4.
New npm folder will be and npm_todelete can be deleted!

luochen1990 · 2017-05-08T10:18:05Z

I got this issue when I updated my node version to v7.9.0, And solved it via update gulp from [email protected] to [email protected]. So seems like it matchs what @hanakin described.

nattyman · 2017-05-09T02:38:42Z

Upgrading to a newer version of Gulp fixed this for me when all the other solutions failed. Also note that the Gulp install said this:

"graceful-fs v3.0.0 and before will fail on node releases >= v7.0. Please update to graceful-fs@^4.0.0 as soon as possible. Use 'npm ls graceful-fs' to find it in the tree."

RichardDavid · 2017-08-04T15:40:29Z

Just upgrade node version using nvm and it should solve this issue.

arpho · 2017-08-21T06:15:46Z

same problem,I did like bollogo and it worked

earth-the-home · 2017-10-05T10:18:15Z

I also had this problem. The following steps are the causes for the problem.
Step 1 : Executed the command npm outdated

C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm>npm outdated
Package Current Wanted Latest Location
request 2.81.0 2.81.0 2.83.0 npm

Step 2 : in package.json, i have changed request to latest version(2.83.0) which is higher than wanted version. so npm ERR! code MODULE_NOT_FOUND has came.

i did npm repair from control panel to solve this issue.

arpho · 2017-10-05T10:33:55Z

I did the same, I reinstalled everything again Il 05/ott/2017 12:19, "naveento" <[email protected]> ha scritto:

lunow · 2017-11-03T14:35:23Z

On my system an old npm version caused the problem. Reinstall with

$ rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/
$ curl -0 -L https://npmjs.com/install.sh | sudo sh

fixed it.

OutsourcedGuru · 2017-11-28T00:55:09Z

For what it's worth (OS X 10.11.6) with a recently-updated Node.js (8.6.0), my previous gulp-related project then failed its "gulp serve" with the indicated error message.

cat package.json |grep gulp
"gulp": "^3.8.5",
npm uninstall gulp --save-dev
Using nano, manually added that line above back into package.json under devDependencies section
npm install

It now works as expected. Note that I didn't upgrade my gulp, I just re-installed it locally in place.

zhuziyi1989 · 2018-03-28T02:00:54Z

当切换 Node 7 ++，就会出现同样问题。
解决方案：在切换Node（版本>7）时，会先删除npm目录（/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm），这样就不会出现问题了。

The same problem occurs when you switch Node 7 ++.
Solution: When you switch Node (version >7), the npm directory (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm) is deleted first, so that no problem occurs.

rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm
