Answer 1

delete package-lock.json and run npm again

Check if node and npm is installed correctly

for checking type

npm -v

if no number came then install it properly.

If any number cam then the npm is installed, then go ahead

Quick fix:-delete package-lock.json and try again

If above does not work, then do below steps

1) delete package-lock.json

2) open task manager and shut down all nodejs process

3) run npm init or npm install

4) if not works, then restart your system
