For others like myself that may find this GitHub issue while troubleshooting, some possibly helpful steps follow.

To install an npm package globally:
npm install -g <package name>

To uninstall a globally-installed npm package:
npm uninstall -g <package name>

To view the list of your globally-installed top-level packages:
npm list -g --depth 0

If there are any errors, find the directory where your global packages are stored:
npm root -g

Open that directory, and delete the folders for packages that are triggering the errors.
