npm ERR! invalid: [email protected]

Question

1. Pretty new to Node.
2. Was preparing to install Babel
3. So I checked to make sure I hadn't already installed it by running npm list -g --depth=0
4. Wherein I received this error message:

npm ERR! invalid: [email protected] /usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/tar/node_modules/minizlib

How do I fix please? Thanks.

Answer 1

I ran sudo npm install -g npm@latest to reinstall npm, then I ran npm list -g --depth=0

..and no more error!
