Error "Cannot find module 'npmlog'" after "npm update -g"
Solution 1
Thanks for the answers. It was a bug and it has already been fixed in Node v5.4.1. Now it's working as usual.
Solution 2
What fixed this for me was
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules/
and then re-installing node (with npm).
Solution 3
It looks like npm update -g
cannot update npm to the newest version. I solve the problem by updating npm installation manually.
- Install/ reinstall node to get the bundled npm
- run
npm install -g [email protected]
to update the global npm installation - now
npm update -g
should work
Solution 4
I have faced the same issue in my Windows 10 PC. After looking into solutions, since i couldn't find the exact solution for the issue i was facing Cannot find module 'npmlog' I just uninstalled the node js and then, deleted both 'npm' and 'npm-cache' in "C:\Users\YourPCName\AppData\Roaming"
Then, i downloaded the latest version of node from Node JS Website
And, installed node js
After that i checked with the path in environment variables.
Finally run the command prompt 'run as administrator' and npm install npm -g
Checking your version will show the latest version. 'npm -v'
I got the latest version - v3.10.9
Try this. this should work.
Solution 5
If people with linux are facing the problem, here is the solution:
As of the date of this post, the NPM version packaged with Nodejs doesn't work. If you installed this package, run
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/npm
sudo apt-get install node
sudo mv /usr/bin/npm /usr/local/bin/npm
New version should be 3.10.8 and the old error gone

I have NVM 0.30.1 and used it to install node.js v5.4.0 (with NPM 3.5.4) on Fedora 22. When I run
npm update -g
, I receive the following warnings:npm WARN EBUNDLEOVERRIDE Replacing bundled npm > init-package-json with new installed version npm WARN EBUNDLEOVERRIDE Replacing bundled npm > node-gyp with new installed version npm WARN EBUNDLEOVERRIDE Replacing bundled npm > npm-install-checks with new installed version npm WARN EBUNDLEOVERRIDE Replacing bundled npm > npmlog with new installed version npm WARN EBUNDLEOVERRIDE Replacing bundled npm > read-package-json with new installed version
And after that, when I run npm I get this error:
module.js:328 throw err; ^ Error: Cannot find module 'npmlog' at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:326:15) at Function.Module._load (module.js:277:25) at Module.require (module.js:354:17) at require (internal/module.js:12:17) at /home/peflorencio/.nvm/versions/node/v5.4.0/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js:20:13 at Object.<anonymous> (/home/peflorencio/.nvm/versions/node/v5.4.0/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js:76:3) at Module._compile (module.js:398:26) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:405:10) at Module.load (module.js:344:32) at Function.Module._load (module.js:301:12)
Does anyone know what it is and how to solve it?
Thanks
