I hope this issue will be solved, however, I have no idea why it happens in the first place. Sudo mv /usr/lib/node_modules.bak/* /usr/lib/node_modules # Move previously globally installed NPM packages into newly installed global `node_modules` # Remove packages installed by `npm` system package I worked this issue around simply renaming /usr/lib/node_modules, installing npm and restoring globally installed NPM packages: # Move old global `node_modules` Npm: /usr/lib/node_modules/npm/lib/utils/format-search-stream.js exists in filesystemĮrrors occurred, no packages were upgraded. Npm: /usr/lib/node_modules/npm/lib/package-url-cmd.js exists in filesystem The error from pacman -S npm (run via yay -S npm) I had today was: error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) I experienced same conflict as has described in his comment, at least twice in the past month (I think it occurred every time npm package installed via pacman was updated).

Install nvm linux
