Hello,

Node Version : v8.11.3

I am trying to install angular 6, but when I try to tun the command with NPM it throw the below error, I am not sure how to clear the "find-npm-prefix" error.

module.js:549 throw err; ^ Error: Cannot find module 'find-npm-prefix' at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:547:15) at Function.Module._load (module.js:474:25) at Module.require (module.js:596:17) at require (internal/module.js:11:18) at Object.<anonymous> (C:\Users\love34\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\npm\ lib\config\load-prefix.js:3:18) at Module._compile (module.js:652:30) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:663:10) at Module.load (module.js:565:32) at tryModuleLoad (module.js:505:12) at Function.Module._load (module.js:497:3)

Check your node environment variable and make sure your which npm and which node points to the right env path

You are correct, here is the output with where

Looks like a broken npm installation. While where points to C:\Program Files\..., the error message indicates code from C:\Users\love34\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\npm is used.

Try removing C:\Users\love34\AppData\Roaming\npm and npm-cache folders and reinstall Node.
