I have the following error when I try to run my node.js project:

ENV@ENV-L7490:/mnt/c/Users/ENV/source/Project$ npm i
: not foundram Files/nodejs/npm: 3: 
: not foundram Files/nodejs/npm: 5: 
/mnt/c/Program Files/nodejs/npm: 6: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting "in")
ENV@ENV-L7490:/mnt/c/Users/ENV/source/Project$ npm init
: not foundram Files/nodejs/npm: 3: 
: not foundram Files/nodejs/npm: 5: 
/mnt/c/Program Files/nodejs/npm: 6: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting "in")
ENV@ENV-L7490:/mnt/c/Users/ENV/source/Project$

Any idea what this means and how to resolve. I'm unable to actually run the project with npm start, until I run my npm i or npm init, which is why I want to get to the bottom of this.

  • Thanks for the response! In my git bash terminal, I'm able to run the program in the meantime. But after a re-install, it seemed to be working!

Suggest to use nvm instead, its convenient and personally I did not face above issue in WSL setup which following this: https://gist.github.com/noygal/6b7b1796a92d70e24e35f94b53722219
