Update your mirrors with the welcome app. Then try again.

done the mirror update with the welcome app.
same result as before.

Terminal output please, as before.

The latest version is 8.1.0-1

If you indeed get failure because its downloading version 8.0.0, then the mirrors are still wrong.

Perhaps
sudo pacman -Syyu npm
?

This (-yy) should force a refresh of all package databases (needed usually after updating the mirrors), update the system and install npm.

Did you update your system? Or did you update your mirrors? Very specifically describe what you did.

Thanks for replies.
So initially I updated only mirrors and it didn’t seem to fix the issue.
Now that I updated the system things are fine.
Thanks.
P.s
My issue with no password requested when waking from suspend is still not fixed.
