npm ERR! Cannot read property 'length' of undefined

@Grimler91 - Getting the same error while installing different npm packages
I saw a lot of threads regarding this issue
is there any method to fix this? by patching any files?

I modified /usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/worker-farm/lib/farm.js to set maxConcurrentWorkers to 4.

@Mini-Web is this Safe method?

Google Pixel running Android Pie. I am experiencing this issue as well.

I was testing different methods of fixing it. I think it is safe to guess the number; a bad guess should only affect speed, not accuracy, for npm. If you want to try my script in https://github.com/Quasic/cpuinfo, it tries various methods of aquiring the number. Some are more reliable than others.
