elm-github-install: npm install failing (Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir)
Hi,
I am having trouble installing this package globally. I run the following:
sudo npm install -g elm-github-install
and get the following:
npm WARN deprecated node-uuid@1.4.8: Use uuid module instead
/usr/local/bin/elm-github-install -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/elm-github-install/scripts/run.js

sudo npm i -g elm-github-install --unsafe-perm=true --allow-rootsame for “just elm”
sudo npm i -g elm --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root/related: https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/17268
try this to install package…
sudo npm install --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root
On Ubuntu 16.04 I am getting the same thing when using
However, yarn works well
sudo chown -R $USER ~/.npmworked for meIt worked for me by not installing globally. I just took off the
-gflag. Then I ranelm-github-installwithnode_modules/.bin/elm-github-install.@samueller After I created the 2 directories manually, I had to change the owner of the 2nd directory with:
sudo chown nobody elm-install-1.0.1-osx/Then it WORKS!
BTW, afterwards you need to change ownership back to you for all files (-R) otherwise it won’t run:
sudo chown -R charles elm-install-1.0.1-osx/Note: change
charlesto your user.If you have no root access,
HOME=./ npm i@deepakchaula Thanks for command sudo npm install --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root It is working fine for Ubuntu.
if you install a package that you have the package name, you run ‘sudo npm install package_name --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root’. If you don’t know which package you missing, just run ‘sudo npm install --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root’ in your project folder that has node_modules.
This PR #33 should fix this issue once released.
I have deleted the ‘node_modules/’ folder and install npm package again.
npm installAnd it worked 😃Add more param like that
--unsafe-perm=true --allow-root@freddy_daniel, try adding unsafe-perm=true --allow-root to the install command if you’re sure that what you are installing is safe.
Released as v1.2.0
If someone affected with this could test it out it would be appreciated 👍
@deepakchaula why sudo npm install --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root ?
It does, however, there are no more questions
@noformnocontent Your voodoo worked. You’re a genius.
I had the same kind of problem, with denied permissions. I’m using Linux Mint and, even with ‘sudo’, the permission to create folders was denied. I achieved the complete installation opening a new terminal window with the root user. My guess is that, even if we use ‘sudo’, npm can change it’s user in the flow and loose the permissions granted by ‘sudoing’. And, I think that using the root terminal may be a security issue.
This is permission issue on the folder. For some reason subfolder permissions were changed from
jenkinstorootwhich caused the issue.sudo chown -R jenkins:jenkins foldernamesolved the issue.Muchos appreciated.
