Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 15,928 PointsHow can I install the mongoose package?
I've been following the instructions from the tutor since the S1V4 folder so there was no need to navigate to S2V3 folder but still I get this error in my terminal whenever I attempt to install mongoose. I'm using Windows Powershell in my Atom text editor on windows 8.1 Pro by the way.
The error I get in my terminal:
PS C:\Users\Osaro\Desktop\S1V4> npm install mongoose --save
npm ERR! Unexpected end of JSON input while parsing near '...9d597c853ad9591d92b00'
npm ERR! A complete log of this file can be found in:
npm ERR! C:\Users\Osaro\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache_logs\2017-11-07T17_13_36_363Z-debug.log
Keep in mind that I've install node, npm and MongoDB on my PC.

Check if your npm is uptodate - npm-windows-upgrade --npm-version latest - and run one more time - npm install mongoose -

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 15,928 PointsMy npm is up to date. There was a solution to the problem on Stack Overflow. All I had to do was type 'npm clear cache' in my Atom terminal. Oh yeah I also had to add the 'force' flag. So I typed ' npm clear cache --force' in my terminal and then installed the mongoose successfully.
