I'm trying to install surge via npm using the command
npm install -g surge
But it's throwing the following error
npm ERR! Unexpected end of JSON input while parsing near '...<2.0.0","ecc-jsbn":">'
npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in: npm ERR! /.npm/_logs/2019-09-28T07_05_28_294Z-debug.log
Any clues on the following?
Upon checking the log files, the following is seen (Sorry for the massive log)

Npm uses Cache for downloading new packages for you. You need to clear your npm cache. use following command to clean :
open the terminal as admin
npm uninstall -g surge
npm cache clean --force
then run
npm install -g surge
this work for me!
in some time seems like there was just a download error and you should try again for install this.
This has not worked in my case! Pls provide any other options. Thanks.
