how to solve npm error “npm ERR! errno 9009” at dev: `lite-server`

Question

So, I was starting to learn bootstrap and for that I had to install and configure node & npm to run lite-server I've already created my .json file and installed lite server using command "npm install lite-server --save-dev" then after adding "dev": "lite-server" to the script of json file and try to run the command "npm run dev" then this error came in.

$ npm run dev

> [email protected] dev C:\Users\Shahir K\Desktop\bootstrapcourse
> lite-server

'"node"' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 9009
npm ERR! [email protected] dev: `lite-server`
npm ERR! Exit status 9009
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Failed at the [email protected] dev script.
npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

This error is specific to nodejs environment, you need to follow few steps to solve this, like

step 1 - clean npm cache, the npm cache self-heals from corruption issues and data extracted from the cache is guaranteed to be valid

npm cache clean --force

step 2 - delete node_modules and package-lock JSON, by deleting this it will remove the node_modules folder from your project.

rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json

step 3 - install dependencies again

npm install

step 4 - run your program

npm run dev
