'ENOENT: no such file or directory when running npm install command

When I run npm install, I getting the following error,

npm WARN tar ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'D:\Live Project\insyte-mobile\insyte-mobile\node_modules.staging\core-js-c9f4d03d\library\fn\symbol\unscopables.js'

Solution 1:[1]

First delete the package-lock.json and then try npm install

Solution 2:[2]

Delete node_modules folder and package-lock.json, then run npm install

Solution 3:[3]

All you need to do is

  • Open a terminal in your pc's root and run this command:

    killall node

  • Before restart the new metro bundler please reinstall the dependencies on yarn or npm :

    npm i OR yarn

Also the article: ENOENT: no such file

Solution 4:[4]

Please check your current working directory. if you have created project using npx react-native init demo

then navigate inside project from terminal using cd demo npm install

will install all npm modules and you can also check installed packages in the directory: demo/node_modules

also if project is expo base then run expo eject to eject from expo

Solution 5:[5]

Check the node version, if the application was build using an older node version then you can downgrade your local environment node version using NVM (node version manager).

Solution 6:[6]

Follow this step:

  1. Delete node_modules folder and package-lock.json file
  2. Run this command: npm cache clean -force
  3. Then run this command: npm install (if the issue is not yet fixed try the following 4th step.)
  4. Run this command npm install -g npm,then npm install
  5. Finally run this command: npm start

Solution 7:[7]

I suspect you do not have git installed on your computer. This is particularly true if you are getting this error at the bottom of your log:

npm ERR! syscall spawn git

If so, then you need to install git from here: https://git-scm.com/downloads.

I had the same problem as you, and once I installed git, the problem went away.

Solution 8:[8]

npm ERR! code ENOENT npm ERR! syscall open npm ERR! path E:\Projects\package.json npm ERR! errno -4058 npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'E:\Projects\package.json' npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file.

Solution ==> Check the root directory you might be outside the root directory or in wrong folder path has been opened

Solution 9:[9]

Do you have a package.json file in the folder ?*

To run npm install you need to have a package.json file.
