I’m having trouble getting the nodemon package to install. When I run npm i nodemon -g, I get a MODULE_NOT_FOUND error. The message mentions something about a missing module in the make-fetch-happen package.
I tried installing it as a dev dependency too with npm install nodemon --save-dev, but no luck. The error persists.
Here’s a snippet of what I’m seeing:
npm error code MODULE_NOT_FOUND
npm error path [some long path]
npm error Cannot find module '[path to make-fetch-happen]'
Any ideas what might be causing this? I’m pretty new to npm and not sure how to troubleshoot. Is there maybe an issue with my npm setup or Node.js installation? Thanks for any help!
I’ve dealt with similar MODULE_NOT_FOUND errors before. One often overlooked solution is checking your Node.js and npm versions. Ensure they’re compatible with the version of nodemon you’re trying to install.
Another approach is to try installing nodemon locally instead of globally. Run ‘npm install nodemon’ in your project directory. This can sometimes bypass global installation issues.
If that doesn’t work, consider using yarn instead of npm. It handles dependencies differently and might resolve the problem. Just run ‘yarn add nodemon’ after installing yarn.
Lastly, check your firewall or antivirus settings. They can occasionally interfere with npm installations, especially for global packages. Temporarily disabling them during the installation might help.
Remember to restart your terminal after making any changes. Good luck troubleshooting!
sounds like ur npm cache might be messed up. try clearin it with npm cache clean --force. if that dont work, u could try updating npm itself or even reinstallin node. sometimes network issues can cause weird errors too, so check ur connection. good luck!
I’ve encountered similar issues before, and it can be frustrating. One thing that worked for me was updating my Node.js version. Sometimes, older versions can cause compatibility problems with certain packages.
Another approach you might try is using npx instead of installing nodemon globally. Just run ‘npx nodemon’ in your project directory. This way, it’ll use a temporary installation and might bypass the error you’re seeing.
If those don’t work, check your project’s package.json file. There might be conflicting dependencies causing the issue. Try removing the node_modules folder and package-lock.json, then run ‘npm install’ again.
Lastly, ensure your system’s PATH includes the npm global installation directory. Sometimes, that can cause MODULE_NOT_FOUND errors. Hope one of these suggestions helps!
