Why does NPM always throw an error, no matter what the command is?












0














Whenever I type any NPM command, I get this error:



C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0>npm -v
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:582
throw err;
^

Error: Cannot find module 'os-tmpdir'

at Function.Module._load (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:529:3)


I've tried reinstalling node, but I keep getting that same error. I've noticed that if I search NPM in the "add or remove programs" page in settings, I get no results, if that's useful.



My version of Node is v10.13.0

I'm using Windows 10 Home, version 1803

I would remove node: How do I completely uninstall Node.js, and reinstall from beginning (Mac OS X)



And then reinstall it with NVM: https://github.com/creationix/nvm like this:



> nvm install 8.9.1
> nvm list // Will show you available NodeJS distribution
> 8.9.1
// So tell nvm to use your version
> nvm use 8.9.1
> nvm list
> * 8.9.1 (Currently using 64-bit executable)
> node -v
> 8.9.1
