unable to install appium@1.7.2

The problem

when i run command like this:npm uninstall -g appium && npm install -g appium@1.7.2 --no-shrinkwrap

which throw this kind of exception:

36056 verbose stack Error: appium-chromedriver@3.1.4 install: node install-npm.js 36056 verbose stack spawn ENOENT 36056 verbose stack at ChildProcess.<anonymous> (/home/work/Monkey/node/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/npm-lifecycle/lib/spawn.js:48:18) 36056 verbose stack at emitTwo (events.js:126:13) 36056 verbose stack at ChildProcess.emit (events.js:214:7) 36056 verbose stack at maybeClose (internal/child_process.js:925:16) 36056 verbose stack at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:209:5) 36057 verbose pkgid appium-chromedriver@3.1.4 36058 verbose cwd /home/work/Monkey 36059 verbose Linux 3.10.0_1-0-0-8 36060 verbose argv “/home/work/Monkey/node/bin/node” “/home/work/Monkey/node/bin/npm” “install” “-g” “appium” 36061 verbose node v8.9.4 36062 verbose npm v5.6.0 36063 error file sh 36064 error code ELIFECYCLE 36065 error errno ENOENT 36066 error syscall spawn 36067 error appium-chromedriver@3.1.4 install: node install-npm.js 36067 error spawn ENOENT 36068 error Failed at the appium-chromedriver@3.1.4 install script. 36068 error This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above. 36069 verbose exit [ 1, true ]

and i do not think this is same issue like #10020 #10225

and here is command line print : /home/work/node/bin/appium -> /home/work/node/lib/node_modules/appium/build/lib/main.js
