    Got the solution.

    I was doing that work on my google drive, and that is the only thing done differently.

    The installing of external node modules worked for me when I installed them in a directory which is directly in the hard drive or SSD of your PC. I am not sure about pendrives and external hard drives.

    so yeah, just change the location of your document/file/folder to your local hard drive and the error won't come.

    It’s possible your problem be related to the NPM package manager cache or Disk Space.

    1. Clear your cache:
    npm cache clean --force
    1. Update npm:
    npm install -g npm
    1. Reinstall sillyname
    npm install sillyname

    Also check your Disk space.
