I'm trying to run npm install, this is output from console:

If you don't want to run npm install every time you change the NodeJS version, then I recommend you to use Node Version Manager to install multiple NodeJS versions on your local computer. You should be able to install all dependencies without the maximum call stack size exceeded error now.
The call stack is limited in size, and when it's exceeded, the RangeError is thrown. This can happen when a deeply nested function is called, or when a lot of new variables are created. The most common way to fix this error is to reduce the number of function calls, or to limit the number of variables that are created.
It means that somewhere in your code, you are calling a function which in turn calls another function and so forth, until you hit the call stack limit. This is almost always because of a recursive function with a base case that isn't being met.
Without any local variables, each function call takes up 48 bytes during the execution, and you are limited to less than 1MB for all local function frames.
metzelder's answer helped me fix the issue. however if you run the command npm cache clean, it will give you a message
As of npm@5, the npm cache self-heals from corruption issues and data extracted from the cache is guaranteed to be valid
So, as of npm5 you can do by adding a --force flag to the command.
So the command is:
npm cache clean --force If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
