my error command

🔎 Introduction

If you've ever tried to install a package with npm and received the following warn error message:

then this article is for you. You're not alone in having this happen, because it just happened to me. I was trying to create an app using React and Vite. Then when I run npm install, I get the warn as written above.

🧵 How can I resolve these warn?

I was trying to figure out why this was happening, and several people mentioned that this problem is common and even mentioned various other causes that cause the warn to occur when we run npm install. I wasn't sure what exactly was causing this problem for the application I was trying to build. I concluded that it was probably because I ran npm install -g npm before I created my project folder.

And then I found out that there were several ways offered to resolve the problems, but none of them worked for me until I tried doing some of these following steps :

Delete the node_modules folder and package-log.json file

Run this command

Then run this command to reinstall the required packages

If you don't discover any more warn/errors like the previous one after running this command. Then, as expected, all of the packages were successfully installed. Then we can run our app and see the results.

Next, use this command to start the program

💡 Conslusion

If you've done this, then you're all set! Go ahead and continue building your app. Hopefully, this solution will also work for you if you are having the same issue.
