Error: EACCES: permission denied

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 is not required for installing node module locally. If I run it with sudo, it gets installed inside ~/node_modules folder. drwxrwxr-x is the file permission of existing folder. I can't figure out what might have gone wrong.

Below is the error message.

I have same issue with webpack server installation on globally, Use steps from this Url Solved my issue, my be work for you.

Steps mention above There: Back-up your computer before you start.

Make a directory for global installations:

1. mkdir ~/.npm-global

Configure npm to use the new directory path:

2.npm config set prefix '~/.npm-global'

Open or create a ~/.profile file and add this line:

3.export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH

Back on the command line, update your system variables:

4.source ~/.profile

Test: Download a package globally without using sudo.

npm install -g jshint

Instead of steps 2-4, you can use the corresponding ENV variable (e.g. if you don't want to modify ~/.profile):

NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX=~/.npm-global

This command fix the issue. It worked for me:

sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root

Creating package.json using npm init solved my issue.

I had problem on Linux. I wrote

chown -R myUserName ./*

in my project folder.

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.

FWIW I had the same symptoms, but with a different package. Creating package.json and running npm init did NOT solve my issue.

On this system, apparently new folders in this location were being created with root permissions. During npm install, new folders are created. This caused npm install to fail partway, even with sudo.

The solution was to run npm install app in a different location with no root umask.

It doesn't have write permissions for others (r-x). Try with

chmod a+w <folder>

and repeat.

First install without -g (global) on root. After try using -g (global) It worked for me.

I solved this issue by changing the permission of my npm directory. I went to the npm global directory for me it was at

/home/<user-name>

I went to this directory by entering this command

cd /home/<user-name>

and then changed the permission of .npm folder by entering this command.

sudo chmod -R 777 ".npm"

It worked like a charm to me. But there is a security flaw with this i.e your global packages directory is accessible to all the levels.

Remove dist folder and this solve my problem!!

Execute these commands and issue will be solved!

sudo chmod -R 777 /usr/local/bin
sudo chmod -R 777 /usr/local/lib/node_modules
