Npm ERR cb() never called?

I faced this problem when I tried to install npm packages using npm install or npm i .

 

Answer 1:-

Try

npm update chokidar

the older versions aint compatible with Node v14 and above

 

Answer 2:-

When you face such a problem, you just need to run below command if you have npm version 5 or greater

npm cache verify

Otherwise use below command 

npm cache clean 

And again try to run  npm install. I hope it will solve your problem.
