既然是 npm 的问题，那首先去 github 的源码中找找问题

npm 的源码在 https://github.com/npm/cli (opens new window)，找到以下 Issue

Unexpected end of JSON input while parsing near #21172 (opens new window)

# 解决方案

这是因为本地 npm cache 的问题，清除掉本地的 cache 即可成功，如下所示

$ npm cache clean --force
npm WARN using --force I sure hope you know what you are doing.

$ npm i -g serverless

另外可以通过 npm cache verify 去查看缓存位置

$ npm cache verify
Cache verified and compressed (~/.npm/_cacache):
