I'm using Windows 10. I want to use Angular 4 on my system. When I run node -v and npm -v it displays the version. But when I execute the statement npm install -g @angular/cli, i gives :

npm WARN deprecated request@2.88.2: request has been deprecated, see https://github.com/request/request/issues/3142C:\Users\VAISHU\AppData\Roaming\npm\ng -> C:\Users\VAISHU\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\@angular\cli\bin\ng

> @angular/cli@9.1.9 postinstall C:\Users\VAISHU\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\@angular\cli
> node ./bin/postinstall/script.js

+ @angular/cli@9.1.9

when I enter the command ng -v, it shows :

I had the same message installing node unirest module on Ubuntu 20.04 but when I ran the command a second time the warning was no longer displayed.

First time with warning:

user@server:~/project$ npm install -S unirest
npm WARN deprecated har-validator@5.1.5: this library is no longer supported
npm WARN deprecated request@2.88.2: request has been deprecated, see https://github.com/request/request/issues/3142

  run `npm fund` for details

Second time without warning:

In my case I was trying to install angular using: nmp install -g @angular/cli

I needed to install it using sudo as : sudo npm install -g @angular/cli

The same issue "depricated warning" was thrown, but ignored in the end and the other commands were executed succesfully.
