[FIXED] Node MODULE_NOT_FOUND

Issue

I just upgraded to node version 9.0.0 and am now getting this error in the command line when trying to use npm install

npm ERR! code MODULE_NOT_FOUND
npm ERR! Cannot find module 'internal/util/types'

I'm using:

• OSX 10.10.5
• Node version 9.0.0
• NPM version 5.5.1

Extra information: I am also trying to do this with a Laravel 5.5 project. This is how I update my version of node: How do I update Node.js?

Solution

run

rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm 

and then re-install Node.js will work in most cases
