'npm i' not working in 'example' folder

[futurfutur]

updated npm from 6 to 7.6.1 version now while trying to 'npm i' in 'example' folder getting following error:

npm ERR! code 1 npm ERR! path /Users/<...>/node_modules/typescript npm ERR! command failed npm ERR! command sh -c gulp build-eslint-rules npm ERR! [16:30:28] Local modules not found in ~/<...>/typescript npm ERR! [16:30:28] Try running: npm install

any way to fix this?

I'm experiencing the same issue since I upgraded npm this morning. Downgrading it to a previous version solved the problem for me. At least it is a temporary fix:

$ npm install -g [email protected]

Then:

$ npm i

If this doesn't work as is, try to remove node_modules and package-lock.json after downgroading and before npm i.

Hope this helps.
