npm ERR! code ERR_SSL_CIPHER_OPERATION_FAILED

Question

while running the command npm i, I got this error:

npm ERR! code ERR_SSL_CIPHER_OPERATION_FAILED
npm ERR! 78530000:error:1C800066:Provider routines:ossl_gcm_stream_update:cipher operation failed:c:\ws\deps\openssl\openssl\providers\implementations\ciphers\ciphercommon_gcm.c:312:

I tried many ways to solve this including clearing the cache and deleting package-log.json node modules, but the error remains.

Answer 1

npm cache clear --force 

Use the above command it helped me resolve the issue
