Didn't dig into details, here is the log:

It appears (from the node_modules path) you're using an older version of npm. Suggest trying a clean install of wordpos again, or update your node/npm.

  1. Cleaned NPM cache with npm cache clean --force
  2. Tried to install with sudo npm install -g wordpos - failed
  3. Upgraded NPM with sudo npm i -g npm (5.6.0 → 6.4.1)
  4. Tried to install with sudo npm install -g wordpos - failed

However, it installs okay without -g switch. Do you have any clues why?

Something similar is happening to me. Seems like the following file is not being created.

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/[...]/node_modules/wordpos/node_modules/wo
rdnet-db/dict/fast-index.noun.json'

Workaround: Go to node_modules/wordpos and run npm run postinstall.

It worked for me.

@sergeymorkovkin I don't know why it's failing with -g for you. I just tried that on Ubuntu with no errors. Are you able to install anything with sudo & -g? You might also try @bichotll 's suggestion. wordpos runs a postinstall to generate fast-index files and puts them in wordnet-db/dict folder -- maybe the node process doesn't have the right permission to do that?

@bichotll Did you get any errors when you first installed wordpos?
