npm install command failed

Question

I am running npm install commands and it is failing with error:

I tried many things like uninstall the node and npm packages and then again reinstall them. And also tried npm cache verify.

I just want to install npm packages.

Node Version: 19.0.1 NPM version: 9.1.1

I tried on previous versions also but it doesn't work so updated to the latest but results are same.

Looks like a dependancy of one of the modules you're trying to install doesn't exist - maybe the publisher deleted the version of `ls-trace` that `platform-tracer` references? Try installing a different version of that module, maybe the latest - or modify the dependancy version number in the package.json of whatever you are trying to do npm install for? Whats the output if you type `node -v` and `npm --version` — Noscere, Nov 16 '22 at 02:24
Node Version: 19.0.1 NPM version: 9.1.1 currently. I am unable to install any npm packages inside this repo. If I simply run `npm install express` then also I am getting this error. I also removed the platform-tracer package and tried again but the error still same. Then I thought it may be some cache but clean cache command is not working but I tried `npm cache verify` but no such results. I am using new Mac M1 with Arm processor, is that causing issue here? @Ankit for running npm install? — Mohammad Arshad, Nov 16 '22 at 03:35

have you tried the Latest LTS Version 18.12.1? it is recommended for most users, your node version seems Latest Current Version. it might have some existing open issues. you can also try yarn instead of npm. — shubham jha, Nov 16 '22 at 17:00

Looks like you have dependency conflicts, try this command.

npm install --legacy-peer-deps

So, it runs on version 14.20.0 the following module may be available/support on that version only.

Module logs which was causing error before
