You could try moving to an older version of node and then retry installing it. According to this documentation, it's not an uncommon issue with Ubuntu 18.04 - https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/19348.

  • Thank you. It worked for V6.1.0. – Alok Feb 04 '19 at 08:50
  • If you install the node snap package with sudo snap install node --classic --channel 6/stable && sudo snap install node --classic --channel 11/stable you can install version 6 alongside the latest version of node.js and use either version: https://askubuntu.com/questions/594656/how-to-install-the-latest-versions-of-nodejs-and-npm/594657#594657 – karel Feb 04 '19 at 10:57
