Error: Cannot find module '../lib/cli.js'

Question

i installed yarn/webpack and after that npm crashed! I get the following error:

npm -v
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:928
throw err;
^

Error: Cannot find module '../lib/cli.js'
Require stack:

code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND',
requireStack: [ '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js' ]
}

The error appears whatever I like to do with npm. I'm working on Mac OSX 10.14.6

Node Version: 15.4.0 Yarn Version: 1.22.10

thanks for help.

seems to be mac specific? can you set a tag?

This happened to me when I used brew install node. I fixed it by doing brew uninstall node (just to clean up) and then installing nodejs by downloading the package from https://nodejs.org/
