Unable to install Firebase

I am unable to install firebase tool.

> C:\Users\Mohit Saini>npm i -g firebase-tools
> npm WARN deprecated request@2.88.2: request has been deprecated, see https://github.com/request/request/issues/3142
> npm ERR! Unexpected end of JSON input while parsing near '...ePY2w==","shasum":"89'
Solution

  • firstly run npm cache clean --force to clear previous caches

    after that run npm cache verify which will bring 0 bytes indicating all cache was cleared.

    lastly run npm install -g firebase-tools

    note: running the clean --force command will deletes all data from your cache folder.
