npm does not support Node.js v9.0.0 #16649

adrianchia · 2017-10-31T20:20:32Z

ATTN: Go here for a workaround: npm/npm#19019 (comment)

Version: 9.0.0
Platform: Windows 10 x64
Subsystem: npm

After installing Node.js v9.0.0 on Windows 10 x64, npm returns the following message:

npm WARN npm npm does not support Node.js v9.0.0
npm WARN npm You should probably upgrade to a newer version of node as we
npm WARN npm can't make any promises that npm will work with this version.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

I can confirm similar failure on CentOS.

MylesBorins · 2017-10-31T20:35:47Z

@adrianchia are you using the version of npm that came bundled with node? The current upstream version of npm does not work with Node.js 9.x which is why we floated b8888f5 and 9f33a24

Is it possible you are not using the bundled version of npm?

/cc @nodejs/npm

bricss · 2017-10-31T20:40:37Z

If you have npm updated from bundled with node, just remove it manually from global packages.

MylesBorins · 2017-10-31T20:56:56Z

@nodejs/collaborators Do you think it makes sense to keep this open until npm fixes this upstream? If so it may make sense to lock this issue and make a comment in the OP with the solution

I am confirming it failed also on Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
node: 9.0.0
npm: 5.5.1

Refs: nodejs#16649 Refs: nodejs#14161

amritk · 2017-11-01T00:39:47Z

There's a workaround posted in npm/npm#19019 (comment) by @addaleax

For now, you should be able to work around this

by using npmc rather than npm, i.e. npx npmc install instead of npm install; or
by using the version of npm that is bundled with Node 9; or
by downgrading to [email protected]: [sudo] npm install -g [email protected]
The “real” fix would be waiting for the next npm release.

ndaidong · 2017-11-01T08:10:58Z

@amritk : I got the same error here:

And another issue with natural and webworker-threads at audreyt/node-webworker-threads#169

It looks like there are many packages need to be upgraded to catch up Node.js 9 serie.

Looks like npm doesn't work with Node v9: nodejs/node#16649

FWIW if you don't mind using NodeJS v8.9.0 on Travis CI, you can do node_js: "lts/*" to work around this.

Done.
