Why am I getting Unexpected token '\u0000' when using npm install -g package
Via this question on SO it could be that you just have to do:
npm cache clean
.
But, also try the other methods suggested there like adding the registry option:
npm install <packagename> --registry http://registry.npmjs.org/
.
Or, if you've been mingling with the package.json
file by yourself, check if it's valid.
