NPM error while setting up the development environment

[pawamoy]

When running npm install I get some warnings and this error:

% npm install
npm ERR! semver.simplifyRange is not a function

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /home/pawamoy/.npm/_logs/2022-03-01T18_51_38_183Z-debug-0.log

2022-03-01T18_51_38_183Z-debug-0.log

Completely lost at how to solve it 😅

I forgot about SO for some reason.
Had to sudo update npm. Don't Ctrl-C while doing that, it seems npm deletes itself before upgrading... had to reinstall with yay -S npm 😑
