Error: Cannot find module 'npm'

[pak1989]

I've been trying to use this cli on arch linux manjaro.

$ npm -v 6.14.5 $ node -v v12.16.3

mean init command is fine, the projects gets generated.

Every other command goes in error and the stack looks like this: $ mean status

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:960
  throw err;
  ^

}

I'm not sure but I think that it tries to import the npm module without success, because in fact the npm files are located elsewhere.

You should move the issue to mean-cli repository.
