npm ERR! path /Users/jasonazoulay/Desktop/fabrick.io/delegation/node_modules/@angul         


        

Answer 1

Try running npm update -g npm then run npm i again.
If that doesn't work maybe npm cache clean helps.

If that doesn't work either you should consider removing the node_modules folder in your application and running npm i again.
If you still have no luck, I suggest removing the package-lock.json and the node_modules folder before running npm i.
