I am trying to install sass with the following command:

npm install node-sass --save-dev

But I am receiving the following error:

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:626
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module 'semver'
Require stack:
- /usr/share/npm/lib/utils/unsupported.js

  requireStack: [
    '/usr/share/npm/lib/utils/unsupported.js',
    '/usr/share/npm/bin/npm-cli.js'
  ]
}

I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling npm but this didn't resolve my error.

So I have tried the following to see if this would help:

sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/node_modules/
sudo rm -rf ~/.npm
brew uninstall --force node
brew install node

But the error still persists.. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Perhaps you could try the following steps and seeing if they resolve your issue:

  1. Remove your package-lock.json file if it exists. It may have gotten out of sorts and is causing locking issues for npm.

    rm package-lock.json

  2. Retry the steps you listed, but instead of removing the node_modules directory from the /usr/lib/node_modules directory try removing the node_modules directory from /usr/local/lib/node_modules directory.

The steps would be as follows, for more detailed information see this answer: 

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules
sudo rm -rf ~/.npm
brew uninstall --force node
brew install node
  1. Lastly, if all else fails try installing Node from official documentation

Hopefully that helps!
