why does npm install encounter with permission denied error on LinuxLite? - navid_dada - 01-14-2022
I am using LinuxLite V5 and I am trying to clone one repository from git using npm V8.3.0 but it throws this exception:
fatal: could not create leading directories of '/root/.npm/_cacache/tmp/git-clone7tt2X1': Permission denied
I try all of these commands but no progress!!!
npm i -g https://github.com/nextcloud/strengthify
npm i https://github.com/nextcloud/strengthify
sudo npm i -g https://github.com/nextcloud/strengthify
sudo npm i https://github.com/nextcloud/strengthify
npm install --prefix=$HOME/.local --global https://github.com/MorrisJobke/strengthify.git
sudo npm install --prefix=$HOME/.local --global https://github.com/MorrisJobke/strengthify.git
I also run all of these commands in sudo su mode but there was not any progress.
I also checked folder owner and group and permissions. it is the result:
drwxrwxrwx 6 root root 4096 jun 13 14:50 .npm
How can I solve this problem?
