Aborting installation.

i have tried updating NPM but it just does not seem to work!

Answer 1

This worked for me:

npm cache verify

or you can try

npm cache clean --force

Answer 2

I had the same issue. It worked for me after removing the spaces in the directories name, e.g. C:\Users\LENOVO\React Projects\webapp becomes C:\Users\LENOVO\React_Projects\webapp
