Angular 6: npm ERR! cb() never called when installing angular cdk

Question

I am installing angular material here is what I have done

Angular material successfull installed by the following command

   1.npm install --save @angular/material

Angula CDK fail to install by using the following command

  1.npm install --save @angular/cdk

I get the following error in cmd:

npm WARN tar zlib error: unexpected end of file
npm ERR! cb() never called!

npm ERR! This is an error with npm itself. Please report this error at:
npm ERR!     <https://github.com/npm/npm/issues>

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     C:\Users\Bonge\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache\_logs\2018-07-25T17_44_24_771Z-debug.log

Fo reference I never had this problem, this happend after I uninstalled the cdk and angular material so now I am trying to install it again ,

what do I need to do to solve this problem?

Just a comment: it is way easier to install material by running `ng add @angular/material`. It does all the dirty job for you — smnbbrv, Jul 25 '18 at 18:37

The best way to resolve is update the npm version and install again.

npm install -g npm

I had the same issue and I installed it by excluding package-lock.json using below command

npm i --save @angular/cdk --no-package-lock

OR manually deleting package-lock.json

Since NPM 6 you can do clean install.

npm clean-install

That would try to remove the node modules folder and safely install the packages by checking the package-lock.json.

P.S. If that fails for some reason, check here for troubleshooting.

In my case problem is due to space not enough in the disk. So I cleaned up some space. Problem get solved.

I faced same issue. (cb() never called!). In my case folder has not read/write permission. Check your folder permission assign read/write permission to fix the issue.
