How do I force npm to install dependencies?
NPM installs devDependencies within the package. json file. The 'npm install' command should add all the dependencies and devDependencies automatically during installation. If you need to add specific devDependencies to your project, you can use this command- 'npm install --save-dev'.
...
- Installing a package that checks updates for you.
- Use this package to update all package versions in your package. json (-u is short for --updateAll).
- Install all of the new versions of the packages.
The easy fix is to use the npm audit fix which will look for updates that can be updated to fix those automatically. This way you'll be able to update the dependency to the latest version that is not a breaking change, run the tests, build and compile if you are using typescript and make sure everything is still ok.
- Manually need to install the top-level modules, containing unmet dependencies: npm install findup-sync@0.1.2.
- Re-structure your package. json. Place all the high-level modules (serves as a dependency for others modules) at the bottom.
- Re-run the npm install command.
Install your project dependencies
json from the list. Alternatively, open the relevant package. json file in the editor or select it in the Project tool window and choose Run 'npm install' from the context menu.
But if you want a quicker way to update all dependencies to the latest version at once, you can use npm-check-updates. According to the documentation: npm-check-updates upgrades your package. json dependencies to the latest versions, ignoring specified versions.
- Use npm outdated to discover dependencies that are out of date.
- Use npm update to perform safe dependency upgrades.
- Use npm install <packagename>@latest to upgrade to the latest major version of a package.
- Use npx npm-check-updates -u and npm install to upgrade all dependencies to their latest major versions.
- Navigate to the root directory of your project and ensure it contains a package.json file: cd /path/to/project.
- In your project root directory, run the update command: npm update.
- To test the update, run the outdated command. There should not be any output.
- Open console with administrative permissions.
- Go to Node. ...
- Update npm: npm i npm@latest.
- Go to modules folder: cd C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm.
- Install all desired modules: npm i %MODULE_NAME%@latest.
- Install update manager: npm i npm-check@latest -g.
Try running npm update command. It will update all the package minor versions to the latest and may fix potential security issues. If you have a vulnerability that requires manual review, you will have to raise a request to the maintainers of the dependent package to get an update.
How do I fix dependency error?
- Enable all repositories.
- Update the software.
- Upgrade the software.

Clear the Kodi Cache
Clearing the cache on Kodi sometimes helps you fix the error “failed to install a dependency.” Deleting the cache is a better alternative to clearing the entire data as you do not lose your existing addons and Kodi settings. The best way to clear the cache is through The Crew Wizard.

How to clear cache? To clear a cache in npm, we need to run the npm cache clean --force command in our terminal.
Using apt-get With the -f Flag
When we run into this error, we can use the -f flag with the apt-get command and try to correct the system, which now has broken dependencies. If successful, we'll be able to install the package/program without experiencing this error again. Otherwise, it will throw the same error.
Because npm link works by installing links into your global node_modules, if you change version of node then they will all disappear. This often happens when swapping between versions using nvm (node version manager). Make sure you are using the same version of node that you used to set up the links.
- load the existing node_modules tree from disk.
- clone the tree.
- fetch the package.json and assorted metadata and add it to the clone.
- walk the clone and add any missing dependencies.
- dependencies will be added as close to the top as is possible.
This packages modifies package-lock. json to force the installation of specific version of a transitive dependency (dependency of dependency), similar to yarn's selective dependency resolutions, but without having to migrate to yarn.
- Installing all dependencies: yarn or yarn install.
- Installing one and only one version of a package: yarn install --flat.
- Forcing a re-download of all packages: yarn install --force.
- Installing only production dependencies: yarn install --production.
