ENOENT error when installing component with npx shadcn-ui@latest

[renanleonel]

i tried to install the 'Toast' component using the command in the documentation 'npx shadcn-ui@latest add toast', and received the following error:

npx shadcn-ui@latest add toast npm ERR! code ENOENT npm ERR! syscall lstat npm ERR! path C:\Users\renan\AppData\Roaming\npm npm ERR! errno -4058 npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, lstat 'C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\npm' npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a file. npm ERR! enoent

after deleting the 'node_modules' folder, '.next', and the 'package-lock.json' file and reinstalling everything, I found that the error was due to the '@latest' flag. running the command 'npx shadcn-ui add toast' instead of 'npx shadcn-ui@latest add toast' as stated in the documentation solved my problem.

i was getting the same error and removing the @lastest did not help , i was using zsh in terminal , I solved the problem by switching to the bash terminal

I had been getting the same error. I solve it as follow create npm directory on %Appdata% works on me

I faced the same error on a new Windows dev machine when running command npx shadcn-ui init@latest and receiving no such file or directory, lstat 'C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\npm'

Since the error says the directory is missing, I created the directory with command mkdir 'C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\npm' in addition to removing @latest from the initial command.

All solutions, including the one proposed by @hsellik didn't work for me. Only managed to start the installation, but after pressing y I got the error

Error: package.json: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\Users...\AppData\Roaming\package.json'

@hsellik thanks! The solution works fine for me. In my case, after created a directory npm in C:\Users\....AppData\Roaming I was able to keep using @latest

Also had this issue but npx shadcn-ui@latest init fixed it

I had the same problem when trying to install the Tabs component. I solved it by running 'mkdir C:\Users...\AppData\Roaming\npm' and then installed the component as recommended in the documentation: 'npx shadcn-ui@latest add tabs'

it works without using the latest

If you are using Linux, it may help you:

npm install -g npm
