Getting error EUNSUPPORTEDPROTOCOL

[ossdev07]

While trying to install using npm install, i was getting below error:
**npm ERR! code EUNSUPPORTEDPROTOCOL
npm ERR! Unsupported URL Type "link:": link:./scripts/eslint-rules/

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR! /root/.npm/_logs/2018-10-11T06_52_49_537Z-debug.log**

On debugging understood that dependency "eslint-plugin-react-internal": "link:./scripts/eslint-rules/" in package.json is giving error. Currently there is no version of eslint-plugin-react-internal package.

Can we run all cases even after removing this dependency from package.json.

Thanks in advance.

I suggest you to use node 8.9.4 recommended version and install your package with sudo permission.

`sudo npm install'

change 'link' to 'file' can solve this problem for me ( in mac Hige Sierra)
"eslint-plugin-react-internal": "file:./scripts/eslint-rules/"

You can also choose to use yarn install the packages, it supports this.

Please check devdependencies, if you are using any link local package or proxy please remove it. or fix it according to your node and react version,
Then
delete node_modules and incase of yarn, delete yarn.lock
clear cache
npm cache clear --force
and then again install npm install
resolved my issue
