Error: npm ERR! Must provide string spec

This error occurs when you are trying to run an npm command without specifying the package name or version in the command. The “spec” refers to the specification of the package name and version.

To resolve this error, you need to provide the package name and version in the command you are running.

Examples:

  • If you want to install a specific package, you need to use the following command:

    • npm install package-name@version

  • If you want to install the latest version of a package, you can omit the version:

    • npm install package-name

  • If you want to install a package globally, you can use the “-g” flag:

    • npm install -g package-name

Make sure to replace “package-name” with the actual name of the package you want to install or use in your command.
