Can't Install Any Npm Package, Error 4058

I'm trying to install Grunt on my project. It used to work perfectly, but now for some reason, it does not. Every time i try to install Grunt, I got this error: npm ERR! path C:\i

Solution 1:

Try these steps:

• Delete package-lock.json and run NPM again.
• Ensure no other processes of node.js are running (check task manager)
• If you are using visual studio code, close it and try running npm install again.
• If all else fails, restart your computer.

Solution 2:

For me the reason was Dropbox (my NodeJS project being somewhere deep in the Dropbox folder). I suspended the synchronisation, tried npm install again and it installed without error. Then of course I resumed the synchronisation.

Solution 3:

you should not forget to goto the project folder by cd "nameofproject" and then "npm start" is work.

Solution 4:

• delete package-lock.josn and node_modules
• clear npm cache by npm cache clear --force
• restart VS Code
• running npm installagain

Solution 5:

Try this:

1. Check if you have created an inside folder with the same folder name.

2. If 2 folders exist with the same name (Delete that 1st folder)

3. Go to terminal: npm start
