How did you install `nvm`?

What steps did you perform?

What happened?

I installed the latest version of NodeJS and forgot to include the extra --latest-npm flag. After node v15.8 finished, I ran nvm install-latest-npm

nvm command output

For node 15, this is the same as npm install -g npm, so presumably that command fails in the same way?

ljharb · 2021-02-15T18:41:17Z

Also, are you on an M1 mac?

JakobJingleheimer · 2021-02-15T18:48:05Z

I did not try npm install -g npm

Yes, M1 Mac

ljharb · 2021-02-15T18:54:04Z

How did you install node on an M1 Mac? (I'm asking since node isn't supported there, so I don't know which workaround you used, and that might affect some dependencies of npm).

Can you try npm install -g npm please?

JakobJingleheimer · 2021-02-15T18:56:11Z

I used nvm: nvm install node (which installed v15.6.0, the latest at the time).

Sure, I can try installing npm with npm later today

EDIT: node was original ported over to my M1 mac via Time Machine from a previous installation from an intel-based mac. That version had been installed via homebrew; then I needed to have an older version to test a regression, so I foolishly installed via the official nodejs.org installer. I uninstalled that version (what a pain in the a**) and also the homebrew one and installed the latest via nvm (that version had not been previously installed at all).

ljharb · 2021-02-15T19:00:17Z

Ah, then presumably your terminal is running in rosetta emulation mode?

JakobJingleheimer · 2021-02-15T19:01:28Z

Yes, I think I saw that somewhere. Do you know how to verify that?

ljharb · 2021-02-15T19:06:21Z

I believe node -p process.arch will print out arm64 when it's for the M1 chip, and x64 for the rosetta one. See the "Macs with M1 chip" section in the readme.

JakobJingleheimer · 2021-02-15T19:14:47Z

$> node -p process.arch
x64

JakobJingleheimer · 2021-02-15T19:15:27Z

npm install -g npm fails with the same error.

ljharb · 2021-02-15T19:51:42Z

Just to be clear: you're seeing this problem both on node 15.6 (that you'd previously installed) as well as a newly-installed node 15.8?

JakobJingleheimer · 2021-02-15T19:53:42Z

No: 15.6 (installed with nvm) was fine, no errors. The latest npm was also installed at the same time.

ljharb · 2021-02-15T20:14:30Z

Can you try nvm install 15.7 --latest-npm now? I'm wondering if this is a bug in npm v7.5.3 - since node 15.7 came with npm v7.4.3, that would eliminate that possibility.

bulganerdenebaatar · 2021-02-15T20:22:14Z

@ljharb I was having the same issue on m1 mac. this command nvm install 15.7 --latest-npm resolved the issues. Thanks

JakobJingleheimer · 2021-02-15T20:28:53Z

No dice. But I think something else unrelated is happening here

ljharb · 2021-02-15T20:57:06Z

@JakobJingleheimer that error is due to node having no support for M1 Macs, and you'll need to follow the steps in the M1 section of the readme to ensure your shell is in the emulated architecture when installing node.

JakobJingleheimer · 2021-02-19T00:24:27Z

Hmm, strangely I didn't have any trouble installing 15.6 or 15.8. I'll try those special M1 instructions though (thanks!)

ljharb · 2021-02-19T01:35:43Z

It also might be a bug with the npm version that ships with 15.7.

JakobJingleheimer · 2021-02-19T01:42:39Z

It is something to do with 15.7. I just checked. Also after setting arch -x86_64 bash, I installed node 15.9 + npm 7.5.3 no problem. Curiously, I included --latest-npm and it installed 7.5.3 instead of the actual latest (7.5.4)

npm i -g npm@latest still fails with the Cannot find module 'agentkeepalive' error though (inside the arch x64 bash)

ljharb · 2021-02-19T02:37:44Z

hm, 7.5.4 should def be installed; if npm install -g npm doesn’t do it, then I’d file a cli bug.

mikeyfe6 · 2021-03-18T11:09:20Z

nvm install-latest-npm worked for me guys..

richarddewit · 2021-03-24T06:46:30Z

Hm weird. I had the same error, but when I used nvm use (ran out of other options), the install worked. (Yes I used it before, but that was some days ago, so I was on the same version)

nagkumar · 2021-03-25T08:03:35Z

Installing this

npm install -g agentkeepalive --save

then upgrading npm worked for me.

JakobJingleheimer · 2021-03-28T16:58:02Z

Strangely, nvm install-latest-npm (and then nvm install node) succeeds yet nvm install node --latest-npm fails 🤷‍♂️

(I didn't have to set arch beforehand)

I updated from npm 7.6.0 → 7.7.5, and node 15.11.0 → 15.12.0

ljharb · 2021-03-28T17:56:33Z

@JakobJingleheimer the order to make those the same would have to be nvm install node, and then nvm install-latest-npm.

JakobJingleheimer · 2021-03-28T18:15:03Z

I'm sure what you mean @ljharb, but I did have to run nvm install-latest-npm again after nvm install node because the latter installed an older version of npm (something like 7.6.3, instead of the current 7.7.5)

ljharb · 2021-03-29T05:41:42Z

@JakobJingleheimer i just mean, "nvm install-latest-npm and then nvm install node" isn't the same as "nvm install node --latest-npm". "nvm install node --latest-npm" is the same as nvm install node && nvm install-latest-npm - note the reversed order.

tschaub · 2021-03-29T15:00:06Z

Reading the comments, it isn't clear to me how this issue was resolved.

Here is what I am seeing ([email protected], [email protected], [email protected]):

And npm install -g npm@latest fails with the same stack.

Was this closed because it is a problem with npm instead of nvm?

Update

I found nodejs/help#3207 and saw the suggestion to run npm install -g npm (without latest or a version specified). This appears to have fixed the problem for me.

HawaiiRyan · 2021-04-04T17:31:06Z

npm install -g npm
npm install -g npm@latest

@HawaiiRyan this is an issue with npm; please file it there.

I had the same feedback on Windows 10. Installing the latest Node, going from v14.16.0 to v15.14.0, fixed it for me.
