npm install fails with permission errors

[Beatrice-jack]

Hi,
When I run npm install, I got this error: npm install fails with permission errors.

Kindly, help me resolve this issue.

Thanks,

The error you encountered indicates that you don't have the necessary permissions to install packages globally using npm.

check this:

sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/.npm
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/lib/node_modules

npm config set prefix ~/.npm

Remember that using sudo grants administrator permissions, which can have security implications. It's important to be aware of what you're doing and how it might affect your system.

I hope this helps you resolve the issue! If you need further assistance, feel free to ask.
