api-spec-converter: npm install -g fails with permission error
Installation has failed for me twice, on machines with different architectures and node/npm versions. I get the same error on each platform:
`# npm i -g api-spec-converter /usr/local/bin/api-spec-converter -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/api-spec-converter/bin/api-spec converter

I can and do install global packages all the time. Just ahead of this install, I globally installed “swagger-to-graphql,” which is the point of this exercise; the files I’m converting need to be in Swagger v2 format, but they are currently in Swagger v1.
It failed to work with sudo, giving the same permissions error as it did with full root access.
However, while researching, I found a thread where the following syntax was explicated, and it installs just fine this way:
sudo npm install -g api-spec-converter --unsafe-perm=true --allow-rootThis works in Linux Slackware64-current. I’m off to the races. Obviously, it may not work for everyone on all architectures, so the jsonpath folks should probably be made aware of the issue.
it works for me 😃
sudo npm install -g artillery --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root
sudo npm install -g api-spec-converter --unsafe-perm=true --allow-rootworked for me too. I’m using ubuntu as a docker container, don’t know if that could impact. and here is the detail of the distro:Same error here. I’m trying to install as root user so I shouldn’t have any problem of permission. Using ubuntu and npm 5.3.0
Hrm, I’m still unable to repro, also with npm@5.3.0 on ubuntu (14.04)
Any other details you can think of that might help us reproduce/diagnose? In the meantime,
sudo npm install -g api-spec-converter --unsafe-perm=true --allow-rootseems to work.Not worked for me on mac sudo npm install -g artillery --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root
Works on ubuntu as well … npm install -g artillery --allow-root --unsafe-perm=true
