Error installing truffle-upgrades

I’m following Upgradable Plugin doc to install truffle-upgrades, and ran into the following errors -

npm install --save-dev @openzeppelin/truffle-upgrades

Maybe you can delete all dependencies and try to install them again.

And I think you can also have a look at this tutorial:

Hi @Yuling_Ma,

Please first install Truffle (npm install truffle) before installing the Truffle Upgrades Plugin.

I was able to get the same error as you if I installed Truffle Upgrades Plugin in an empty project:

I have installed node js and Ganache but truffle is not installing this error is showing

I think -g is a flag which means install in global scope, so the correct command should be:

npm install truffle -g 


I used I instead of g is it installed?
But I check truffle version it shows this
This truffle file installed but why it don't shows when I check version

Emmmm, maybe you can run the following command:

sudo npm install truffle  -g
