Annot fin module 'internal/fs' while installing express

[NajehM]

I'm opening this issue because:

• npm is crashing.
• [*] npm is producing an incorrect install.
• npm is doing something I don't understand.
• Other (see below for feature requests):

What's going wrong?

When I write npm install express or install any thing else, there is npm Error: Cannot find module 'internal/fs'
npm ERR! code MODULE_NOT_FOUND.
I don't find the way to fix it

How can the CLI team reproduce the problem?
