Hi,
I am having an issue installing and removing nodes, Node-Red set up as a "project". When I try to remove or add nodes, I am getting this error. Where am I going wrong?
Thanks in advance.
npm 7.7.5
node 14.7.0
NR 1.1.2
Upgraded to NR version 1.2.9.
Still the problem persists.
currently we don't recommend using npm 7. please try reverting to the 6.x version.
Ive tried downgrading to 6.9.0, but the issue still exist and also a new error of npm not support node.js

ISTR that you may also need to manually fixup package.json and/or package-lock.json to remove the extra quotes around the ~ character that npm7 inserted. Then redo.
Edit your ~/.node-red/package.json, look under the dependencies section for ""~"0.1.40" and replace it with "~0.1.40".
There was a bug in an older version of Node-RED when used with npm 7 that would cause this invalid version to be saved to the file.
If you're on the latest version of Node-RED, there's no reason not to use npm 7.
Thank you very much. There was an extra "" in one particular line. Appreciate the quick response.
