Fixing ERR_STREAM_WRITE_AFTER_END on NPM 5.8.x, 5.7.x

Every time I tried to add up a module which used some sort of specific dependencies (bcrypt, node-instagram, uri-component in my case)  it started throwing the following error ~ 

events.js:112░░░░░░⸩ ⠼ extract:decode-uri-component: info audit Submitting payl
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

How to solve?

Trying running the following on terminal~ 

sudo npm cache clean --force

it will return you back a warning something like ~ 

npm WARN using --force I sure hope you know what you are doing.

try installing your package again, if it works out good great! Else you can also try the following ~ 

sudo npm i -g npm@5.6.0

if it still did’nt work, try remove node and update your npm package @5.6.0

Cheers!!
