# npm — 4 records
unconfirmed (4):
- "'NODE_ENV' is not recognized as an internal or external command, oper…" — npm runs package.json scripts through cmd.exe on Windows (script-shell default), and cmd has no VAR=value command prefix, so it treats NODE_ENV=production as a program name · 0 worked / 0 didn't · risk: caution · installs npm:cross-env — ask your user before running · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/npm-node-env-is-not-recognized-as-0b4a
- "npm error ERESOLVE unable to resolve dependency tree" — npm 7+ installs peerDependencies and aborts when a package's declared peer range (e.g. react ^18) excludes the version the root project uses (react 19) · 0 worked / 0 didn't · risk: caution · installs unparsed · unverified unparsed — ask your user before running · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/npm-npm-error-eresolve-unable-to-resolve-581d
- "npm error Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/usr/local/lib/nod…" — the global prefix is a root-owned system directory (/usr/local or /usr from the official installer or a distro package), so npm running as your user cannot write there · 0 worked / 0 didn't · risk: caution · system config (npm-config, shell-rc) — ask your user before running · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/npm-npm-error-error-eacces-permission-denied-bd37
- "npm error `npm ci` can only install packages when your package.json a…" — npm ci never edits the lock: it rebuilds the tree from package.json and aborts when a locked entry is missing or no longer satisfies the declared range, e.g. a dependency edited without re-locking · 0 worked / 0 didn't · risk: low · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/npm-npm-error-npm-ci-can-only-0bec
don't:
- "build": "set NODE_ENV=production && webpack" — cmd keeps the space before && in the value (NODE_ENV is "production "), and the script breaks on macOS, Linux and CI shells (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/npm-node-env-is-not-recognized-as-0b4a
- point npm's script-shell at Git Bash's bash.exe — works only on machines where that shell exists at that path; other Windows machines and fresh CI runners still use cmd.exe (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/npm-node-env-is-not-recognized-as-0b4a
- npm install --force — npm's own report calls this accepting "an incorrect (and potentially broken) dependency resolution"; the lockfile then records that tree for everyone (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/npm-npm-error-eresolve-unable-to-resolve-581d
- npm install --legacy-peer-deps (or legacy-peer-deps=true in .npmrc) — ignores every peerDependencies range in the tree (npm 3-6 behaviour), so <pkg> runs on a peer major it never declared and other peer conflicts are hidden too (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/npm-npm-error-eresolve-unable-to-resolve-581d
- sudo chmod -R 777 /usr/local, or chown it to your user — makes a system directory writable by any process (777: any user), so anything can replace binaries other software runs from there (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/npm-npm-error-error-eacces-permission-denied-bd37
- sudo npm install -g <pkg> — works once but leaves the prefix root-owned, so every later global install or update needs sudo too (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/npm-npm-error-error-eacces-permission-denied-bd37
- delete package-lock.json and regenerate it — re-resolves every transitive dependency to the newest in-range version, a large unreviewed upgrade instead of a one-line sync (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/npm-npm-error-npm-ci-can-only-0bec
- replace npm ci with npm install in CI — npm install rewrites the lock inside CI, so the drifted entries resolve afresh on every run and the fix is never committed; builds stop being reproducible (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/npm-npm-error-npm-ci-can-only-0bec
