npm 错误。 cb.apply 在执行时不是 function > npm install @angular/cli@latest

Question

I am getting this error "npm ERR. cb:apply is not a function" in windows while doing:

> npm install 

I have also tried with:

> npm install @angular/cli@latest

And the error is the same, this is the file.log:

Answer 1

You can see, that the problem derives from your current npm package.

Your version of npm is pretty old.

2 info using npm@5.0.3

We're currently at 7.9.0. Please run

npm install -g npm@7.9.0

and then try to install angular cli again. This will surely do the trick.
