Electron JS install error - Error: EACCES: permission denied

Question

getting error while installing ElectronJS,

Error:

Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir \'/usr/lib/node_modules/electron/.electron\'

Answer 1

Solved my issue by appending --unsafe-perm=true

command:

sudo npm install -g electron --unsafe-perm=true

unsafe-perm

Default: false if running as root, true otherwise

Type: Boolean Set to true to suppress the UID/GID switching when running package scripts. If set explicitly to false, then installing as a non-root user will fail.
