npm ERR! code Z_BUF_ERROR when install

Question

In my server(CentOS 7.2) I install the dependencies:

npm install 

But I get bellow error:

npm ERR! code Z_BUF_ERROR
npm ERR! errno -5
npm ERR! unexpected end of file

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /root/.npm/_logs/2018-02-11T21_03_20_261Z-debug.log

in the /root/.npm/_logs/2018-02-11T21_03_20_261Z-debug.log, the info is bellow:

I tried use：

npm cache clean

to clean the npm, but fails:

npm ERR! As of npm@5, the npm cache self-heals from corruption issues and data extracted from the cache is guaranteed to be valid. If you want to make sure everything is consistent, use 'npm cache verify' instead.
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! If you're sure you want to delete the entire cache, rerun this command with --force.

Answer 1

Try cleaning the cache with the command npm cache clean --force and retry your npm install.

Answer 2

1. "npm cache clean --force"
2. "npm cache verify"

following steps helped me!! :-)

if problem still persist : "npm i npm"

Answer 3

In the end, I delete the node_modules:

rm -rf node_modules

and deleted the package-lock.json,
then re-install:

npm install 

It works for me.
