I already tried npm cache clean --force but i get same error.

node -v v6.10.2
npm -v 5.4.2

Answer 1

I had the same issue. I resolved it

by excluding package-lock.json file

npm i --no-package-lock

OR by manually deleting package-lock.json

Answer 2

Run npm cache clean --force and perform an install.
