node.js - Error installing Angular using npm due to require-from-string

Question

How to resolve this error as I am not able to install Angular.

Please see the below exception:

C:Usersabsin
ode>npm install -g @angular/cli
npm ERR! code ETARGET
npm ERR! notarget No matching version found for require-from-string@^1.1.0
npm ERR! notarget In most cases you or one of your dependencies are requesting
npm ERR! notarget a package version that doesn't exist.

even after temporal solution:

npm install https://github.com/floatdrop/require-from-string/tarball/v1.1.0 --save
npm install

still getting this

Answer 1

as stated in the issue link:

temporal solution: npm install https://github.com/floatdrop/require-from-string/tarball/v1.1.0 --save npm install

UPDATE:

It appears they are working on it. The require-from-string page used to return a 404, but at least now it loads the correct page on NPM's website: https://www.npmjs.com/package/require-from-string

Still doesn't appear to be working through npm install yet.

UPDATE 2:

An official response from NPM: https://status.npmjs.org/incidents/41zfb8qpvrdj

UPDATE 3: issue seems to be resolved.
