Answer 1

Go the directory of your project that the package.json file is in, then try the following things:

1. Delete the file package-lock.json.

2. Run below command lines.

   npm cache clean --force
   npm install uuid@latest --force
   

On the npm install command, you also can specified a particular package version to install like as below.

npm install [email protected] --force
