    So it doesn't exist? I.e not checked in? Can you check if it's in the source?

    in core

    $ find deps/npm/ -name github-url-from-git
$

    same as #3494 I suppose

    @targos sadly I haven't yet had time to finish implementing it. Follow progress at nvm-sh/nvm#779

    That module isn't used by npm@3 at all (it was supplanted by the more general hosted-git-info)....

    I'd love to know what module your npm-debug.log says was trying to load it.

    (#3494 is caused by node's .gitignore including super broad patterns that include files required by npm, so definitely not related.)

    I am unable to reproduce on windows with a basic setup, and it also seems to work fine for @evanlucas.

    @rvagg I think this is on your end.

    sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ and reinstalling fixed for me, would love an explanation of why I might have been hit with this to know if this might be a general problem with v5.0.0 when goes out? perhaps a particular upgrade path (I'm experimenting with different options now)

    I still get this with npm 5.0.0 (not rc) on Windows. Might be some installation issue with the upgrade. I also have moved my npm folder to /dev/npm instead of {APPDATA}/npm and updated npmrc.

    @feross I think we should be potentially wiping /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm or the windows equivalent in the installer...

    @thealphanerd I agree, if you wipe the bundled npm from the previous version before installing there won't be problems.

    Currently using 5.0.0 installed via NVM on OSX, I tried deleting node_modules and the one in /usr/lib and reinstalling node, nothing appears to work..

    "normalizr": "git://github.com/gaearon/normalizr.git#master",

Error: Cannot resolve module 'normalizr'

    Any ideas? Maybe i've done this the wrong way or i'm missing something obvious.

    Will try to sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm and reinstall node.

    ** Update **

    Running sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm and then running the Node.js installer again solves this problem.

    See npm/npm#14026 which is the same as this. IMO this bug should be reopened as this is really a Node installer issue, surely (it should remove any existing files before writing new ones).

    This is still an issue with v6.11.1 on Mac OSX. I get the "Cannot find module 'github-url-from-git'" error when attempting to do anything with NPM.

    I removed /usr/local/lib/npm and ran the installer again, which fixed it. I second re-opening this issue. I was able to solve it quickly (with the help of people here) but there's clearly an issue with the installer.
