[QUESTION] Assistance diagnosing problem
Opened this issue · 0 comments
What / Why
1.) I was trying to install a nextJS starter app so I ran this command unsuccessfully a few times:
npx create-next-app next-app-test
upon reading the error logs they said
7 silly fetchPackageMetaData error for create-next-app@latest Response timeout while trying to fetch https://registry.npmjs.org/create-next-app (over 30000ms)
11 verbose stack FetchError: Response timeout while trying to fetch https://registry.npmjs.org/create-next-app (over 30000ms)
Googling the error showed this: npm/cli#1185
I realized I was using this "bad" npm version: 6.14.4
2.) So I ran npm install -g npm@latest
It said I was missing write access to a ton of things:
3.) So I ran sudo npm install -g npm@latest and it errored saying that a file already existed:
/usr/local/share/man/man1/npm-access.1
and to remove it OR do it unsafely. So I removed it
-
rm /usr/local/share/man/man1/npm-access.1
-
npm install -g npm@latest
but it says: command not found: npm
which npm also shows: command not found
All I wanted to do was install a NextJS starter app. Now I don't have access to the npm command. I'm thinking about uninstalling node, npm, and nvm and reinstalling with brew. Any thoughts?
