npm install error code EBUSY errono -4082

I am running windows7 and have just installed the following...

c:\design_centre_dev\workspace>node -v
v5.10.1

c:\design_centre_dev\workspace>npm -v
3.8.6

I'm having issues running npm install on my node project which one of my fellow dev's says he has no trouble with and should work for me.

When I run npm install i am getting errors like...

npm ERR! Windows_NT 6.1.7601
npm ERR! argv "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\nodejs\\node.exe" "C:\\Users\\rriviere\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\node_modules\\npm\\bin\\npm-cli.js" "install"

npm ERR!
npm ERR! If you need help, you may report this error at:

It seems to throw these same types of errors for modules asynch,path_type and isarray and does not want to get past them.

Can anyone suggest what might be wrong?

EDIT

Thanks for the suggestion of this thread possibly being answered somewhere else. I had a look and I believe it is a different problem. I think this because I've been investigating further today and I think the problem is that the node_modules directory which npm is creating. The permissions on that directory don't seem to be right. I think this might be an issue and probably a new thread so I'll close this one and create a new.

回答1:

If you have open that node module file in your editor then just close the file from the editor

Close Editor Software

Then Try again

The cause of this was windows permissions problems. My work computer did not have privilleges to do certain things. When I moved to my personal mac everything just worked.

I got this error when tried to uninstall/re-install a module on Win10 VM. "npm cache clean", as suggested by some, did not work. Restarting the system resolved the issue.

If you trying to npm install and it fails on some package(requirejs in my case) try to install it manually:
