npm err! code 1 in the vscode during installation for Angular

Question

I'm trying to execute a code I have downloaded from the github in my machine. I have set the ambient for angular in the vscode and the issue npm ERR! code 1 is keep showing up. I've tried some alternative during a search in the stack overflow with no success.. bellow is the erro I hope some one is familiar with the solution.

For solving this problem, first remove the node_modules folder if it exists in your project solutions then clear you npm cash. you could do that with command or just remove the npm-cache folder at this directory:

C:\Users\'your-user-name'\AppData\Roaming

or

C:\Users\user\AppData\local

After these steps, the npm command should work properly.
