Usually, this type of error occurs with an incompatible version of npm and nodejs. Try to upgrade your npm and node — Shahid Tariq

Usually, this type of error occurs with an incompatible version of npm and nodejs. Try to upgrade your npm and node, if you are using ubuntu os you can do it with below commands:

sudo npm cache clean -f

sudo npm install -g n

sudo n stable

sudo ln -sf /usr/local/n/versions/node//bin/node /usr/bin/nodejs

for windows do it like this:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope CurrentUser -Force
npm install -g npm-windows-upgrade
npm-windows-upgrade
