When I try to install plugman with command npm install -g plugman in macOS, it gives error - Unexpected end of JSON input while parsing near '..."3.4.1":{"name":"modu'

Kindly find the entire stacktrace in attached file.

Node: v8.0.0 npm: 5.4.1 cordova: 6.5.0 OS: macOS Sierra

That looks pretty much like a random corrupted file while downloading the npm dependencies. Can you reproduce the error multiple times?

Yes, its continuously giving this error.

My normal advice in cases of npm giving problem is to install nvm, or any node version manager, and install a new node/npm and try with that one. 99.9% this solved the problem.

@SnehalJ1509 Is this still an issue?

I would also recommend what @janpio mentioned above. Try updating and using a newer version of Node.js and NPM.

I would also like to point out that, plugman@3.0.0 has been released since.

@erisu No, this is not an issue anymore. I was occupied with other thing so was not able to test later whether it started working or not. I just tried the solution given by @janpio , I already had nvm installed on my machine with two node versions 8.0.0 and 10.15.1 and I was able to install plugman v3.0.0 on both without any errors. So its not an issue anymore and I'll close the issue.

Thank you everyone for your advice and time.
