Error: Cannot find module 'mkdirp'

Solution 1

Use the manual process to install mkdirp:

Use the generalized pattern for the removed packages:

  • Go to https://registry.npmjs.org/{module}/latest
  • Copy the URL value of the "tarball": key
  • Download the tarball
  • Expand it under your node_modules path

As an alternative, use the npm install name@version syntax:

 npm install mkdirp@latest

Or the npm install git syntax:

 npm install git://github.com/substack/node-mkdirp.git

Solution 2

In my case, I was trying to run npm install from a directory where my user didn't have sufficient permissions. Take a look at those and see if that might be the issue.
