Error: EACCES: permission denied

Question

I run npm install lodash but it throws Error: EACCES: permission denied error. I know it is permission issue but as far as I know, sudo permission

Answer 1

From what i can see in your logs you posted:

npm ERR!   code: 'EACCES',
npm ERR!   syscall: 'mkdir',
npm ERR!   path: '/home/rupesh/node_modules/lodash',
npm ERR!   fstream_type: 'Directory',
npm ERR!   fstream_path: '/home/rupesh/node_modules/lodash',
npm ERR!   fstream_class: 'DirWriter',

directory /home/rupesh/node_modules/ doesn't have necessary permissions to create directory so run chown -r rupesh:rupesh /home/rupesh/node_modules/ this should solve it.
