title: npm ERR! Unexpected token < in JSON at position 12842
body: <p>Every time I try installing any package or even if I try doing <code>npm install</code> I keep getting this error. I have no idea why I am getting the error. I am totally new to Angular 4, it's only been a week, so any any leads will be appreciated. I am using node -v 8.8.1 and @angular/cli 1.4.9.</p>
  
  <p>This is my package.json.</p>
