Answer 1

finally, I got a solution if you are getting:-

**npm WARN tar ENOENT: no such file or directory,.......**

then it is no issue of npm or its version it is os permission issue to resolve this you need to use below command:-

sudo chown -R $USER:$USER *

additional

sudo chmod -R 777 *

then run:-

sudo npm i
