npm install not working, can't install any of the node modules after cloning my project from git

Question

I have cloned my project from git and when trying to do the npm install , it's not working.

I can't fix any of the errors - for example when trying to fix the core-js error with npm install --save core-js@^3 I still get the same message, that I need to upgrade.

Why is this happening? there were no errors before I cloned this repo?

npm WARN deprecated core-js@2.6.12: core-js@<3 is no longer maintained and not recommended for usage due to the number of issues. Please, upgrade your dependencies to the actual version of core-js@3.

Answer 1

Try:

npm cache clean --force
npm install

Answer 2

Even I faced same kind of issue... might be this may be helpful to you.. :)

I have created a folder called "projects (Folder Name)" in that I have taken the clone of my project - called "xyz project (projects >> xyz project)"..

now by mistake I tried to install - npm install in "projects folder (parent folder)"..

but node modules have to be installed in "xyz project" (child folder)

So when I have used npm i... in xyz project... then node modules have installed SUCCESSFULLY..

Try this..
