  • For me it was because of private packages I had and did not configure NPM_TOKEN env var – Armen Jun 18 '17 at 17:57

  • Temporary remove file .npmrc with your ${NPM_TOKEN}
  • Switch to proper node version ( with node version manager you can run like nvm use 12 )
  • export your environment variable "export NPM_TOKEN=yourvalue"
  • move back your .npmrc file and try to run your project again!
