It appears this error happens after we're trying to update npx with npm install --force -g npx.
This project seems to only work, when it comes bundled with npm
$ node -v
v14.7.0
$ npm -v
6.14.7
$ npx -v
6.14.7 # Note: We'll learn later it's an npm version
$ npm install --force -g npx@latest
....
+ npx@10.2.2
$ npx -v
10.2.2
$ npx anything
npm ERR! cb.apply is not a function
$ npm install -g npx@6.14.7 # Was trying to revert to v6.14.7
npm ERR! code ETARGET
npm ERR! notarget No matching version found for npx@6.14.7 # Realized it wasn't npx version that was listed
@medikoo the same here.
I experienced the same problem when trying to get going on a new svelte project in a fresh debian sid virtual installation. After some uninstalls and reinstalls in various orders, it suddenly worked as expected without this error.
What I did notice, however, was that npx could be installed to not use the "default" or "system" npm. Just running
$ npx
Will of course give info about how to run it. Under the options, there was an option to specify "--npm", and when I was experiencing this error, I was quite perplexed to see the default value being it's own, internal (and old!) version of npm set as the default.
I am honestly not able to reproduce exactly what I did, but when I now run "npx" again, the default is set to the system default npm, and that solved this problem for me.
Sorry about not being able to be of more help, but hopefully this may at least be a clue of what is going on.
iam getting this error pls help:

I fixed the problem by forcefully updating the graceful-fs version to the latest in ~/.nvm/versions/node/vXX.XX.X/lib/node_modules/npx/node_modules/npm/node_modules/graceful-fs
(installed graceful-fs in empty project then copied the directory over)
So I suppose the npx package is using an old version of graceful-fs with a bug stated here https://github.com/isaacs/node-graceful-fs
We should make a PR to update npx dependencies
Hello everyone, I was getting this error: npm ERR! cb.apply() is not a function, when I was trying to run npm install in Windows OS, I have fixed this issue this way: I had old projects of reactjs which had node modules, npm files and folder, so having all this I uninstalled nodejs and reinstalled nodejs, and was trying to run npm install, this was the Big mistake i did for 48 hours, so please delete All old node modules folders, npm files permanently, before installing nodejs, this is the best solution who are working on Windows OS. 😇😇
Try updating to npm 7, and make sure you don’t have the npx package separately installed.
To fix it I had to:
1.uninstall node
2. delete npm and npm_cache from %Appdata%, and all local node_modules
3. reinstall node
