I am trying to install on my dependencies from an already existing react project using npm install, however, is giving me this error every time now I try to run npm install.

Does anyone know why is this happening now? I have several projects that I have been working on before installing and uninstalling with no problem at all.

  • some dependencies need you to have super user access. Try sudo npm install Commented Jun 13, 2019 at 11:35
  • @MehulMittal this is the second time it happens and first time I solved with sudo yes, but I don't want to be using sudo every time I have to install a package, is there a way to get my permissions right? thanks Commented Jun 13, 2019 at 11:37
  • What is the path of your project Commented Jun 13, 2019 at 11:39

  • do a npm cache clean or npm cache clean --force if it doesn't work try with sudo. Because most probably your cache is corrupted. Then install the packages. Commented Jun 13, 2019 at 11:46

You probably create your project as root, and now you try to install module on the same folder as a simple user. You need to login as root to give permissions to user, or change the folder owner or delete and recreate your project folder

Right. More on this, just add your user to as the owner of /Users/gabrielnessi/.npm/. Try sudo chown -R $USER /Users/gabrielnessi/.npm/. Of course replacing gabrielnessi with your correct username, or the path.
