Creating project in Angular 6 giving error : Unexpected end of JSON input while parsing near

Question

I am new to Angular. I am facing problem in creation of project whenever I try to create project using ng new Angular, it ends with an error :

npm ERR! Unexpected end of JSON input while parsing near '...ries":{},"dist":{"int'

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in: npm ERR! C:\Users\Vaibhav\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache_logs\2018-10-21T14_00_17_881Z-debug.log Package install failed, see above.

I am following this tutorial. I am on windows 10 64-bit.

First I downloaded Node.js from this URL.

Then I checked version using npm -v

Then installed angular using npm install -g @angular/cli.

Then I changed my directory to where I want my Angular project using cd command.

After that I entered ng new Angular this command.

And at last it ended with this :

I tried: 1. Reinstalling node.js. 2. Running cmd as administrator.

What should I do now? Any help is appreciated. Thank You.

In my case, I solved it by observing l'll things other than Angular.

First: My antivirus was blocking it, so I uninstalled it. (I don't know why and how, but uninstalling my anti virus released me from some problem).

Second: Reinstalled node.js.

Third: I tried command given in this answer (The rm -rf node_modules/ command didn't worked for me so I skipped it).

And it worked like a charm for me. I posted it because may be it'll help someone.

Thank You.

In my case the error is caused by the firebase-admin package... still trying to figure out how to fix that though. I just have a few dependencies and I am npm-installing each of them individually.
