But i get this error for every single installation,
I tried with --cache to temporarily set another cache directory but still,
It happens everytime with me

Normally,
npm cache clean --force
solves the problem for most people.

If you scenario permits, you can consider a full uninstall of npm + delete the C:\Users{{your-username}}\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache folder.

Then re-install npm.

Finally, if nothing works for you, give yarnpkg.com/ a try.
You'll find yarn faster than npm :-)
