I have this error message "npm ERR! Linux 5.4.72-microsoft-standard-WSL2" on my terminal when I run "npm install"

I have this error message : npm ERR! Linux 5.4.72-microsoft-standard-WSL2 on my terminal when I run npm install. I'm on a vue.js app and I have this message since I installed vuetify.
Here is the whole error message :

Your npm version is outdated. Your version is 3.x but we're currently at 7.x
Run
npm update -g
and then try again.

Installing Spectron

I try to install Spectron, by using this command:
npm install --save-dev spectron
but I get this Err msg:
npm ERR! Windows_NT 6.1.7601 npm ERR! argv "C:\Program
Files\nodejs\node.exe" "C:\Program Files\nodejs\
node_modules\npm\bin\npm-cli.js" "install" "--save-dev" "spectron"

What i'm doing wrong?

If you don't set any name in the package.json by default the folder name is taken.
You can't install a Package which is same like the name in package.json.
example : trying to install Spectron in a project having the name Spectron in package.json is supposed to raise this error.

Command 'export' not recognized after 'npm run build' with webpack

We want to use webpack in our project. It has already been partly integrated as a test on a Mac and it works.
When using the same branch on my Windows machine I get following error message.
Webpack version ist 1.12.15
The part in German means that command 'export' could not be recognized or was not written correctly.
S:\project>npm run build
> project#version build S:\project
> export NODE_ENV=dev && webpack
Der Befehl "export" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder

Can't install babel-cli

I'm getting an error when trying to run:
$babel-node ./server.js
The CLI has been moved into the package babel-cli.
$ npm install -g babel-cli
When I install it and run it again it asks again for it.
Anyone came across this situation? Can't seem to move forward.

Babel Version 6 split some packages.
Did you try to open a new terminal window after
npm install -g babel-cli ?
You can also install version 5 and work as before:
npm install -g babel#5
If this happens after upgrading node, try npm rebuild in your project directory
Another solution is to delete the node_modules folder, and execute npm install again

Global installation of grunt.js fails

What could I do to install it?
P.S. It's possible that come rights for some folders is for root:root, not for my user. Cuz our admins installed VM that way...

I've had this problem too with grunt and bower
The solution I've found is in this article NPM config
In your .npmrc you need to set the prefix path
prefix = /usr/local
or you can do it from terminal like this:
npm config set prefix "/usr/local"
This way node will know where to install them:
In npm 1.0, there are two ways to install things:
globally —- This drops modules in {prefix}/lib/node_modules, and puts executable files in {prefix}/bin, where {prefix} is usually something like /usr/local. It also installs man pages in {prefix}/share/man, if they’re supplied.
locally —- This installs your package in the current working directory. Node modules go in ./node_modules, executables go in ./node_modules/.bin/, and man pages aren’t installed at all.

Try chowning the node_modules folder and then try to install again:
sudo chown -R $USER /path/to/node_modules/folder

Encountered same issue. The following works for me:
sudo npm install -g grunt-cli

try sudo npm install -g grunt ?

Adding the option --no-bin-links works good. I tried everything and only this solved my problem. I was installing the Yeoman on ubuntu 12.04 and it was always returning the error:
npm ERR! Error: EACCES, symlink '../lib/node_modules/yo/cli.js'
Then, I did:
npm install -g --no-bin-links yo
