bower: EACCES: permission denied .config/configstore/bower-github.json
I keep running into this problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled bower. Nothing is working.
`alexlaw$ bower /usr/local/lib/node_modules/bower/lib/node_modules/configstore/index.js:54 throw err; ^
Error: EACCES: permission denied, open ‘/Users/alexlaw/.config/configstore/bower-github.json’ You don’t have access to this file.

fixed it with

works for me
I’m still getting the same error, even after
sudo bower install --allow-rootsudo bower install <package>Thank you, thank you. I had gone crazy trying to restart and uninstall and then I found these commands and IT WORKS ❤️
Worked for me as well
sudo chown -R $USER:$GROUP ~/.npm sudo chown -R $USER:$GROUP ~/.config
But I needed to execute the follow too: sudo chown -R $USER:$GROUP ~/.cache
