Truffle migrate and truffle install error

Question

I keep getting this error. When I try truffle migrate --reset

    node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:936
  throw err;
  ^

    Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Users\merta\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\truffle\build\cli.bundled.js'
        at Function.Module._resolveFilename (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:933:15)
        at Function.Module._load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:778:27)
        at Function.executeUserEntryPoint [as runMain] (node:internal/modules/run_main:77:12)
        at node:internal/main/run_main_module:17:47 {
      code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND',
      requireStack: []
    }

I am getting the error.

When I try to install truffle, I get the following error via yarn or npm

Node.js, VS, Python etc. all apps are installed. I tried with VScode and Atom but I get the same error.

Answer 1

I faced the same issue. Managed to solve first uninstalling truffle 'npm uninstall -g truffle' (check every single route/folder on your sistem related) then using previous node version v14.17.3 to install it again. Make sure you follow all the process being the system admin or having permission.
