Whenever I am installing any global package I am getting this error.

Error:- on npm packages global install

For example:-

robins@robins-H61MLV3:~$ sudo npm install -g jshint

/usr/bin/jshint -> /usr/lib/node_modules/jshint/bin/jshint
npm ERR! Linux 3.19.0-25-generic

What I have tried so far

I have tried updating the global karma and its related modules but it didn't worked. I have also tried uninstalling karma modules but the problem persists.

sudo npm uninstall -g  karma grunt-karma karma-html2js-preprocessor  karma-mocha karma-phantomjs-launcher karma-script-launcher  karma-jasmine  karma-requirejs karma-coffee-preprocessor

  • >>npm ERR! peerinvalid Peer [email protected] wants karma@>=0.12.8 Is the version of Karma >=0.12.8 in your Package.json ?

It looks like karma has some dependencies on other modules that are available (global), but are older. You'd need to update your global packages using npm update -g

npm update -g

Basically "npm update -g" just updates all Global packages. "All" because no package name has been provided and "global" because of the "-g" switch.

My suggestion is to first update all of your global packages and then try installing jshint again.

sudo npm install -g jshint

update npm by using command

npm install npm -g

then clean the cache using 

npm cache clean

then install the package as per your requirement. Hope, this would help all.

I fixed the problem by just naming my project with a single word instead of a phrase that I had used before.

It's not a fix for NPM, but a workaround in my case (using Ubuntu 16.04) on this issue was to install yarn and run "yarn install" instead of "npm install".
