I have the below node/npm versions installed

Acer@LAPTOP-OTBULEBK MINGW64 ~/Desktop/coding (dev) $ npx -v

v14.5.0
Acer@LAPTOP-OTBULEBK MINGW64 ~/Desktop/coding (dev) $ npm -v

but still it is showing error as above

Answer 1

This is happening because some packages now actually make it quite a subtle demand to fund their projects before using it.

npm has added a new command npm fund <YOUR PACKAGE NAME> which will list down all the websites that are sort of requiring funding.

You can skip funding any of them (Not so nice but neither is open force forcing funding) by using:

npm install --no-fund <YOUR PACKAGE NAME>

You might want to consider reading this: https://docs.npmjs.com/files/npmrc and this https://dev.to/ruyadorno/npm-6-13-0-7f3 for clarity.

Let me know if this helps and if not, I will figure this out together with you.
