Ive repeatedly tried to install cordova and its showing the above error.

Command:

sudo npm install -g cordova --verbose

Tried clearing cache :

npm cache clear

rm -rf ~/.npm

Basically line 28209 says json returned is not a valid one.

We're closing this support issue as it has gone three days without activity. The npm CLI team itself does not provide support via this issue tracker, but we are happy when users help each other here. In our experience once a support issue goes dormant it's unlikely to get further activity. If you're still having problems, you may be better served by joining package.community and asking your question there.
