why am I receiving npm error 404 when trying to launch a new app?
When you receive an npm error 404, it means that npm is unable to find the package or resource that you are trying to install or download. This error code refers to the "Not Found" status, indicating that the requested resource or package could not be located at the specified URL.
There are a few common reasons why you might encounter this error:
Misspelled package name: Make sure that you have spelled the package name correctly. Double-check for any typos or issues with capitalization.
Incorrect package registry: By default, npm connects to the npm registry to download packages. However, sometimes packages can be hosted in different registries. Ensure that the package you are trying to install is available in the npm registry.
Network connectivity issues: It is possible that you are experiencing network connectivity issues that prevent npm from accessing the package. Ensure that you have a stable internet connection and try again.
To troubleshoot and resolve this error, you can try the following steps:
Verify the package name: Make sure that the package name is correct and properly spelled.
Check the package's availability: Verify if the package you are trying to install exists in the npm registry. You can search for the package using the npm website or the npm command-line tool.
Update npm: Ensure that you are using the latest version of npm by running the command npm install -g npm.
Clear npm cache: Sometimes, cached data can cause issues. Try clearing the npm cache by running the command npm cache clean --force and then try installing the package again.
If you have tried the above steps and are still experiencing the 404 error, it could be a temporary issue with the package's availability or your network. In such cases, it is recommended to try again later or seek help from the package's community or maintainers.

AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. AI bots are able to learn from conversations with users and expand their knowledge this way.
SheCodes Athena will help you with technical questions about your code using artificial intelligence to find the answer. Imagine a super powerful human who has memorized everything on the internet and can access that knowledge in a matter of seconds. 🤯
SheCodes Athena can answer most coding-related questions, even complicated ones! It can even find bugs in your code and tell you how to fix them in just a few seconds. Impressive, right?
Just remember we're still in testing mode so the AI may return strange or incorrect replies. Feel free to message us if this happens!
SheCodes Athena can only reply to coding-related technical questions. The same type of questions you would ask in the channels on Slack.
For questions that are not coding-related, write us here 😃
You should treat Athena like a SheCodes team member, so always be polite! 😊 Ask your questions as detailed as possible, just like you would do on Slack.
Here are some examples:
- Prettier isn't working on my VS Code. How do I fix this?
- How do I make bullet points with different colors using the list element?
- My code in Codesandbox is having some issues. Can you please tell me what the issue is? [Include the link to your Codesandbox]
For now, SheCodes Athena is limited to 5 questions per day for each student.
In that case, you can either ask SheCodes Athena a follow-up question, or you can post on the designated weekly channel on Slack!
Our technical assistants are still available on Slack and are always happy to help! 😍💪
Remember, questions are limited to 1000 characters.
- If you're working with an HTML file: Post a snippet of your code related to the issue you're having (just copy the code and paste it into the question box).
- If you're working with Codesandbox: Good news, you can just post the link to your Codesandbox and the AI Assistant will be able to view your code.
- If you have a longer question that would require an entire HTML file or more than 1000 characters, post it in the designated weekly channels on Slack! 😃
Athena was the Greek goddess of wisdom, among other elements. She received her name from the city of Athens, which she is known for protecting.
Much like the goddess Athena, SheCodes Athena is also incredibly wise and can solve complicated coding puzzles in a matter of seconds! 😍
Not likely. AI can automate tasks and make developers' jobs more efficient but it can't fully replace the human ability to deal with complex software. And AI will still require human developers to supervise and improve it further.
So developers may see their tasks change but they won't be replaced by AI. 👩💻🤝💻
