cache mode is 'only-if-cached' but no cached response is available

[Clives-online]

I saw a previous discussion on the issue. I read through the discussion, but am unable to resolve this.

I am using an off-line installation, so am not able to access: https://registry.npmjs.org/yocto-queue/react

I ran the npm command:
npm cache clean -force
Then ran the command again:
npm install offline
The error message reads:npm ERR! code ENOTCACHED
npm ERR! request to https://registry.npmjs.org/yocto-queue/react failed: cache mode is 'only-if-cached' but no cached response is available.

I uninstalled and reinstalled npm, but still get the same error??
I would appreciate any assistance.

Thanks
Clive
