npm ERR! peerinvalid

EPeerInvalidI have encountered this problem while creating my first project in Angular2. As I have spent some time figuring out what has been going on, it should be a good idea to share the solution.

A good practice is to use Typescript in Angular2. When I tried to install it by NPM, I got the following error:

 

C:\Git\Angular2TestProject>npm install -g typescript

Updating NPM fixes the problem. Here are the steps that did it for me:

  1. Manually delete the following directory C:\Users\DbaPresents\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache.
  2. Execute this command:
    npm install npm@latest -g

I have also seen a different error from NPM - npm ERR! code ERR_STREAM_WRITE_AFTER_END.
