Did you clear the cashe?

yep

sometimes the npm cache might cause issues

i'll do it again

now I'd like you to follow me step by step

after clesring cache

not yet? oterwise you can force the installation of the specific version

try with npm config get prefix and show me the output

okay

yang@yangs-air ~ % npm config get prefix
/Users/yang/C:UsersyangAppDataRoamingnpm
yang@yangs-air ~ %

Does the output point to the directory where npm is installed?

i don't believe so

yang@yangs-air ~ % which npm
/opt/homebrew/bin/npm

ok, let me seee

is that correct one?

i have no idea at this point, that's just where my npm is currently installed apparently

Ok, I think the issue was from the npm configuration path

try with npm config set prefix /opt/homebrew

and now download?

install*

yes!

it worked

reinstall

thank you so much, I will keep this in mind for future problems
