Error EACCES permission denied

Question

I run npm install lodash but it throws Error  EACCES  permission denied error  I know it is permission issue but as far as I know  sudo permission is not required for installing node module locally  If I run it with sudo  it gets installed inside   node modules folder  drwxrwxr-x is the file permission of existing folder  I can t figure out what might have gone wrong   Below is the error message   npm ERR  tar unpack untar error  home rupesh  npm lodash 4 13 1 package tgz npm ERR  Linux 3 13 0-88-generic npm ERR  argv   usr local bin node    usr local bin npm   install   lodash  npm ERR  node v4 3 1 npm ERR  npm  v2 14 12 npm ERR  path  home rupesh node modules lodash npm ERR  code EACCES npm ERR  errno -13 npm ERR  syscall mkdir  npm ERR  Error  EACCES  permission denied  mkdir   home rupesh node modules lodash  npm ERR      at Error  native  npm ERR      Error  EACCES  permission denied  mkdir   home rupesh node modules lodash   npm ERR    errno  -13  npm ERR    code   EACCES   npm ERR    syscall   mkdir   npm ERR    path    home rupesh node modules lodash   npm ERR    fstream type   Directory   npm ERR    fstream path    home rupesh node modules lodash   npm ERR    fstream class   DirWriter   npm ERR    fstream stack   npm ERR         usr local lib node modules npm node modules fstream lib dir-writer js 35 25   npm ERR         usr local lib node modules npm node modules mkdirp index js 47 53   npm ERR        FSReqWrap oncomplete  fs js 82 15       npm ERR   npm ERR  Please try running this command again as root Administrator   npm ERR  Please include the following file with any support request  npm ERR       home rupesh Desktop es6 npm-debug log

I solved this issue by changing the permission of my npm directory  I went to the npm global directory for me it was at    home  lt user-name gt    I went to this directory by entering this command  cd  home  lt user-name gt    and then changed the permission of  npm folder by entering this command   sudo chmod -R 777   npm    It worked like a charm to me  But there is a security flaw with this i e your global packages directory is accessible to all the levels

FWIW I had the same symptoms  but with a different package  Creating package json and running npm init did NOT solve my issue   On this system  apparently new folders in this location were being created with root permissions  During npm install  new folders are created  This caused npm install to fail partway  even with sudo   The solution was to run npm install app in a different location with no root umask
