Answer 1

Try uninstall NodeJS and install again

Try to use the stable version: https://nodejs.org/dist/v16.13.2/node-v16.13.2-x64.msi

Answer 2

1. Open "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\bin"
2. Right click npm.cmd and click edit
3. change the following lines

SET "NPM_CLI_JS=%~dp0\node_modules\npm\bin\npm-cli.js" to SET "NPM_CLI_JS=%~dp0\npm-cli.js"

and

SET "NPM_PREFIX_NPM_CLI_JS=%%F\node_modules\npm\bin\npm-cli.js" to SET "NPM_PREFIX_NPM_CLI_JS=%%F\npm-cli.js"

Answer 3

In my case, my partner folder contains the & character in the name that was causing the issue. File hierarchy R&D>remix>blog, changed it to RnD>remix>blog, and it started working fine. For some reason node is unable to find the modules because of those special characters.
