npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE on Terminal

[dareadel]

I am going through the Javarscript, React & WordPress workshop and I couldn’t get past the ‘npm install’ on the starter folder.

I went through the recommended solutions at https://stackoverflow.com/ but it did not help. Here are the error messages I was getting:

npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1
npm ERR! step-00-practice@0.1.0 start: react-scripts start
npm ERR! Exit status 1
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Failed at the step-00-practice@0.1.0 start script.
npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /Users/.../.npm/_logs/2019-12-06T17_13_16_461Z-debug.log

I will appreciate your assistance.

Right now nothing works after “run install” and I have re-installed all files twice

Hi! What folder are you running this command in?

[Zac Gordon]

Okay, see where you’re running. I tried duplicating the issue on my end and wasn’t able to to.

Do any of the other React exercise folders work for you?

[dareadel]

I was able to do all the exercises until the first lesson in react. I didn’t try any other build folder because I was unable to create the build folder. I’ve been stuck on this all day. I checked atom forum and couldn’t find any solution too.

[dareadel]

Here is the solution I got from this post on Stackoveflow.com. Spent two days looking for a solution and it paid off. Apparently all I needed was an upgrade:

1. sudo npm cache clean -f (force) clear you npm cache
2. sudo npm install -g n install n (this might take a while)
3. sudo n stable upgrade to the current stable version

Glad you got it sorted! Thanks for sharing the solution 🙂
