Struggled with this issue for some time before figuring it out.
I'm using High Sierra (10.13.6)
Uninstalled and re-installed node and nvm multiple times - using the installer.pkg, HomeBrew, and then using the command line. IMO, the command line works the best.

I followed these steps:
1. Ran npm config ls -l
2. Checked that the value for globalconfig was $<installpath>/.nvm/versions/node/v12.16.3/etc/npmrc But when I tried to get to this path in the Terminal, it gave me No such file or directory
So I
3. created the folder etc, created the npmrc file and added this line in it.

registry = "https://registry.npmjs.org/"

I do not have the ~/.npmrc file in my $HOME

Then
4. I re-ran the npm install command.

Note that this still threw the rollbackFailedOptional: verb npm-session error, but this time it completed, though with a different error. You could try these steps and see if it works.

For those who are curious, it threw a Response timeout while trying to fetch https://registry.npmjs.org/<package> (over 30000ms) error, so I added the timeout = "60000" to the /etc/npmrc file (as found on another Stackoverflow thread), and tried again. This worked for me.

Hope this helps!

The cause for this might be your current NPM registry  Try to check for a  npmrc file  These can be at various locations    per-project config file   path to my project  npmrc  per-user config file     npmrc  global config file   PREFIX etc npmrc  npm builtin config file   path to npm npmrc    Within these there can be something like  registry https   mycustomregistry example org   which will take priority over the default one  http   registry npmjs org    You can delete this line in the file or use the default registry like that   npm  lt command gt  --registry http   registry npmjs org

If you have access to the registry but the error is still occurred nothing mentioned above wouldn t work  I noted that this problem is only applicable for local project s installation  i e  if you use -g to global install everything is working fine    What s resolved the problem for me  just remove an entry regarding a package you re going to install from a project s package json file  After that next call to npm will work and install the package successfully

You can resolve the issue by looking if your network has any proxies  that is prohibiting the download process  My company s network had a firewall enabled  which was causing the issue for me  So I had to switch to an un-secure network  probably a hotspot from your mobile network   and that worked for me

Most likely to be npm registry cannot be reached by npm  Check npm proxy configuration  I had exactly the same issue on Windows Server 2008 R2  I suspected Internet Explorer s Enhanced Security Configuration at first but after turning that off with no success the issue turned out to be that npm was not configured to use my corporate proxy connection to the internet    It turns out that npm does not use the proxy settings in effect via Internet Options   Connections tab   LAN settings where the server is set to  Automatically detect settings   Being set to automatically detect settings does not guarantee that a proxy is indeed being used  it just means that Windows will automatically configure proxy settings for Internet Explorer if it finds a special wpad dat  file at http   wpad  yourdomain com  wpad dat    You can test whether a wpad dat file is in use in your organisation by typing the following into a web browser   http   wpad  yourcompany domain  wpad dat   If no file is available then it is likely you are not using an organization-wide proxy  If one does get returned to the browser then     Toward the bottom of this file  you should see a line saying   PROXY  lt host port gt     It might be repeated if you have multiple proxies available  The host and port are needed in order to tell npm to use the proxy settings like so   npm config set proxy http    host   port    and  npm config set https-proxy http    host   port    For example if your proxy is at my proxy com on port 8080 then the npm commands would be   npm config set proxy http   my proxy com 8080 npm config set https-proxy http   my proxy com 8080   Once I had told npm which proxy to use all started working in I was able to run the install commands without a problem   Thanks to the following post for help with the wpad file discovery
