EACCESS Error when doing npm install -g bower

问题:

When i run a command with -g (global) installation i get EACCESS errors . I read on one of the stack overflow answers that i should use 'sudo chown -R whoami ~/.npm' to run as local/root adminstrator but it didnt help

npm ERR!   errno: 3, npm ERR!   code: 'EACCES', npm ERR!   path: '/Users/.node/lib/node_modules/bower/.editorconfig'  npm ERR! Please try running this command again as root/Administrator. npm ERR!

If you are an administrator I suggest you run the command as root: sudo npm install -g bower
