Azure pipeline "npm install" but package doesn't exist anymore - angularjs

When building my project in Azure pipeline, there is a step that does npm install.
However one of the package it requires doesn't seem to exist anymore on NPM. What are my options now?
8412 error code E404
8413 error 404 Not Found - GET https://registry.npmjs.org/angular-appinsights/-/angular-appinsights-0.0.4.tgz
8414 error 404
8415 error 404 'angular-appinsights#0.0.4' is not in the npm registry.
8416 error 404 You should bug the author to publish it (or use the name yourself!)
Edit I have added this package privately to Azure Artifact feed, and all other NPM packages (not privately) as well, would this mean that if in the future someone removes there package from NPM I would still have the (artifact feed) as backup?

Caution: this might not be the best practice
I had a similar issue with some legacy app that was built upon the beta of Material UI. When putting the application on a CI/CD pipeline what we had to do was before launching npm install have a script move the node_modules folder to where the application was being built and then launch npm run build because in this case it was a React App (I'm guessing it is similar for Angular).
What I would suggest is that you have a copy of that package from the node_modules folder copied into a node_modules folder while deploying before running npm install because npm won't install packages it finds are already there.
Of course best practice would be to update that package but I'm guessing that is not up to you. If you could, I would suggest you ask the developers to review the dependencies or to tell you how they deploy that application locally because, from the little research I've done it seems to me that there other up-to-date packages available. They might have installed the newest package but forgotten to remove the old one and since they have never had to redeploy simply didn't stumble upon that error, other possibility is they're passing the node_modules folder around.

Non working repositories that are older than half a year

I have a problem that when I clone a Github repository that is older more then half a year I am not able to run it with neither npm start nor yarn start. I have been successful with one repository only and it was only a few months old. I think it might be because of the new React version. I am quite new to React so I don't know for sure.
I always get an error message that looks something like this
There might be a problem with the project dependency tree.
It is likely not a bug in Create React App, but something you need to fix locally.
The react-scripts package provided by Create React App requires a dependency:
"babel-jest": "^26.6.0"
Don't try to install it manually: your package manager does it automatically.
However, a different version of babel-jest was detected higher up in the tree:
/Users/username/node_modules/babel-jest (version: 27.5.1)
Manually installing incompatible versions is known to cause hard-to-debug issues.
If you would prefer to ignore this check, add SKIP_PREFLIGHT_CHECK=true to an .env file in your project.
That will permanently disable this message but you might encounter other issues.
To fix the dependency tree, try following the steps below in the exact order:
1. Delete package-lock.json (not package.json!) and/or yarn.lock in your project folder.
2. Delete node_modules in your project folder.
3. Remove "babel-jest" from dependencies and/or devDependencies in the package.json file in your project folder.
4. Run npm install or yarn, depending on the package manager you use.
In most cases, this should be enough to fix the problem.
If this has not helped, there are a few other things you can try:
5. If you used npm, install yarn (http://yarnpkg.com/) and repeat the above steps with it instead.
This may help because npm has known issues with package hoisting which may get resolved in future versions.
6. Check if /Users/username/node_modules/babel-jest is outside your project directory.
For example, you might have accidentally installed something in your home folder.
7. Try running npm ls babel-jest in your project folder.
This will tell you which other package (apart from the expected react-scripts) installed babel-jest.
If nothing else helps, add SKIP_PREFLIGHT_CHECK=true to an .env file in your project.
That would permanently disable this preflight check in case you want to proceed anyway.
P.S. We know this message is long but please read the steps above :-) We hope you find them helpful!

Even after following all 7 steps, I am still getting the same result. What should I do??

Simple NPM Question Re-updating local react project after other dev added new package

I just started working with vscode and npm/git. Someone on my team added a package and I did a pull to get his latest changes which put that package in my package.json file. When I ran the project I got errors for a module not being found. Obviously I need to install that package locally. Do I simply use npm install w/no arguments to get it? Or do I install it manually myself with npm install and version info? I ask because I don't know if npm install w/no args will create a new package.json or cause any issues.
What is the correct way to get a new package installed that someone added in the repo?
npm install can be run as many times as you like, and is what you should be doing here :)
npm install's purpose is to get your node_modules folder up-to-date with whatever is written in package.json
So, if your colleague has changed package.json (by installing something new and pushing the change to git), you can just run the command again to get up-to-date.
Provided you haven't directly fiddled with any files in node_modules (this folder should be left alone), it is always safe to run npm install as many times as you like, even if nothing has changed.

hardhat, truffle, brownie, react stopped working?!? error Command failed with exit code 1

I was working with brownie and everything was working smoothly, launched my first useDapp app and it was a lot of fun. I wanted to see what truffle was about and installed it via npm and there were a bunch of warnings and it didn't seem smooth when it came to functionality so I might have installed it via yarn, expecting the package installer to fix things. It worked for a while then it started to timeout upon migration with tested code that used to launch perfectly fine? I thought it might of been a bug or some form of overlapping installation. I moved on to hardhat and installed it via NPM and it wouldn't compile, so I installed it via Yarn and it compiled fine. I went on to creating a new file and accidentally hit Esc when it was initializing a new file and setting the root. Somewhere in between there I tried to install the shorthand and it didn't work. It only opened a Windows help window instead of call hardhat when I typed hh --help. After that I couldn't call hardhat via yarn hardhat nor npx hardhat outside of the file....the file that previously wouldn't compile was still able to compile via npx hardhat compile?
It sometimes says "module not found", other times it says something about local installation.
I kind of got frustrated and wanted to play with react a little more and when I went to start yarn I got an error message. I followed the prompt and it didn't work, I googled it and had no luck with their common resolutions. I tried to upgrade eslint and even install 7.11.0 and it keeps saying I have version 5.16.0?.
EDIT: not sure if it is relevant, I tried to update my yarn to 1.22.17 and it said it did, although it says im running 1.22.15.

Kind of embarrassing, the answer was in the error message.

Hardhat set root in the wrong directory and I ended up with a node_module folder in a parent directory that was messing things up
Reinstalled truffle globally via yarn add global truffle and it ran smoothly. Evidently, truffle acts up with certain NPM versions.
Hardhat doesn't seem to support global installations yet. Its been working fine being locally installed into each separate hardhat project via yarn add -D hardhat
I haven't been able to get the shorthand to work without invoking yarn first, such as yarn hh <command>

Why am I unable to get a cloned github react project started on my local server?

Quite new to react, and can not find an answer to the simplest of tasks. Just trying to clone a repo to my computer and run it. For example https://github.com/arnab-datta/counter-app .
I do npm install and npm start. But when I do npm start I seem to have dependency errors with a "babel-loader". It gives me the below list of steps to solve the problem, I went through them all and still no success. No matter what project I try to repo the error is always this babel-loader. I am new to react and getting very frustrated being unable to do the simplest of things.
There might be a problem with the project dependency tree. It is
likely not a bug in Create React App, but something you need to fix
locally.
The react-scripts package provided by Create React App requires a

Don't try to install it manually: your package manager does it
automatically. However, a different version of babel-loader was
detected higher up in the tree:
/Users/xxx/node_modules/babel-loader (version: 8.0.6)
Manually installing incompatible versions is known to cause

If you would prefer to ignore this check, add
SKIP_PREFLIGHT_CHECK=true to an .env file in your project. That will

Error on running a project after installing a package

I was running my project finely, but I merge my code with other which contain a package called react-modal, after that my code doesn't work. I revert that code from my project, but it doesn't work, I can't even run my project. "cannot read properties of undefined" error is occuring. I upgrade all my packages like webpack, webpack cli etc, but it doesn't helps. What I need to do to run my project?
Well you can do two things here.
First to revert your code back to your latest code before merge.
Run the below command to delete Node_modules npm prune --production
and then run npm install and then build your project.
