Problem with npm

General
1

Dear all,
I am using node-red for a while already. Today I was doing something outside of node-red on the server where node-red is running. As a consequence, server became unresponsive. I forced restart of virtual machine. After that node-red started sucesfuly, but when I try to install new pallete, I get an error:

 npm install node-red-contrib-openhab3

up to date, audited 2009 packages in 17s

79 packages are looking for funding
  run `npm fund` for details

94 vulnerabilities (3 low, 25 moderate, 52 high, 14 critical)

To address all issues, run:
  npm audit fix

Run `npm audit` for details.

Even if I want to remove one of the installed pallets, I get an error. I think something is wrong with npm. What is the easiest way to solve it. If it is complicated, I can even do restore a backup snapshot from few days ago.
What are you suggesting me?

There are no errors in that output - only warnings. The npm install has completed successfully.

The warnings are around potentially out of date modules you have installed. Some may be node-red modules, but they are more likely to be modules used by the nodes you have installed.

Running npm audit fix can be a bit risky as it will try to update modules without necessarily knowing the impact that will have on the modules that depend on them.

Hm, I tried to install it through UI and tells me, it was not successful. Log gives me that:

I think I somehow solved it. I don't know what exactly helped me, because I did several things, but it is working now.

Edit: I tried it but failed.

Please update us as to what things you did. Details like Windows 10 vs. Linux + Distro. Thanks.
