What / Why

Trying to install a package globally

I am using nvm

Steps to Reproduce

$ nvm use 13
Now using node v13.1.0 (npm v6.4.1)
$ git clone git@github.com:kevinsimper/gcphelp-cli.git
$ npm i -g # works

$ nvm use 14
Now using node v14.3.0 (npm v6.14.5)
$ npm i -g # fails
# Error from above

Expected Behavior

It should install it globally

My installation of nvm and node are out-of-the-box, no special settings.

I solved it by installing node.js again with nvm and now it works. Somehow npm or nvm has been corrupted.
