[neahpanilag]

i'm new to npm and package manager in general and i'm trying to install bower to work my way. i tried to run this line: npm install -g bower. i got these errors and i've been searching on how to troubleshoot this and still couldn't find a working solution.

It looks like you have a corrupt version of the bower package in your local npm cache. Usually you can fix this by running

> npm cache clean bower

on your command line. Can you try that and let us know if it worked or not?

EDIT: fixed command, originally had npm clean cache... which is incorrect

[neahpanilag]

it works now. thanks @smikes .

Have same issue. Any help please ?

+1 - can't get anything to install right now.. And it seems to be sporadic - a different package has issues most times; not always the same one. I'm trying different node and npm versions and that doesn't seem to help.

[jonfriesen]

+1 Looks like the actual checksum is the same for every package, so far I've failed on Cordova, create-hmac, and a few others, all shows the actual checksum as:

da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709

EDIT: I also tried clearing bower cache's with no success

[rbeltran]

+1 doing the bower specific clean made it take a little longer to fail but it still failed

[rbeltran]

oh it seems like it worked now. Getting WARN unmet dependency though. Not sure if that's normal

[JustJenFelice]

+1 @jonfriesen - I get the same actual checksum as well, even after cleaning cache:

Actual: da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709

I've done cache clean specific to bower and in general...no dice. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

@grepruby @lukemadera @jonfriesen @JustJenFelice Please see http://status.npmjs.org/incidents/pyw00fmpjzrh, and try not to "revive" old, solved issues with comments regarding an issue you just recently began seeing.

[JustJenFelice]

@kenany - sorry about that...didn't realize the date of the original post

Maybe you should use another registry. find a mirror fit you then

npm config set registry https://registry.for.you.best/

seems the main sever is not unstable.

I'm trying to install express to create a server, and one of the steps says that I should put the npm install command inside the server directory I created earlier. I have this error, if anyone could help me ??
