How to update the npm dependence formidable to install ionic/cli

Question

When i ran sudo npm install -g @ionic/cli

then i got this message:

npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: Please upgrade to latest, formidable@v2 or formidable@v3! Check these notes: https://github.com/node-formidable/formidable/blob/master/VERSION_NOTES.md

changed 212 packages, and audited 213 packages in 35s

26 packages are looking for funding run npm fund for details

found 0 vulnerabilities

then i tryed with "npm install formidable@latest" and "npm install formidable@v2" and "npm install formidable@v3" without solution.

i recived the next message:

robinsonalvarez@MBP-de-Madeline ~ % sudo npm install formidable@v2

up to date, audited 218 packages in 554ms

28 packages are looking for funding run npm fund for details

finally i could't update or install a new formidable version

Had the same issue here..

• If you require formidable in your project, you can do an npm install formidable@v2
• If you have other packages that require formidable as a dependency, You may want to check the package with npm ls formidable and then troubleshoot if the authors of that package have updated their dependency to the latest one. Or raise an issue if not

In my case, it was chai-http and as on now they still have an open PR to update the projects dependencies.
