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

node recommends executing following:

 sudo chown -R $USER:$(id -gn $USER) /home/venkatesh/.config

If you execute

npm config

You will see something like this

│                   npm update check failed                   │
│             Try running with sudo or get access             │
│            to the local update config store via             │
│ sudo chown -R $USER:$(id -gn $USER) /home/venkatesh/.config │

It worked for me.
