I have done the following so far and still no result
Deleted node_modules and package-lock.json file
npm cache clean --force
npm install --force
Delete node and npm and installed again.
Reboot the system
Check permissions
Turn off firewall
Run cmd as administrator
Node version: 10.23.0
NPM Version: 6.14.8
Any help will be appreciated.

I would try running it on another drive/partition. In the past regardless of my permission set sometimes Windows likes to restrict certain operations such as file name changes even if it's supposed to be allowed in a certain folder. If that doesn't work then try on another computer to see if the problem is related with the system environment or not.

Deleting my node_modules and reinstalling all my used packages helped me fix this error.

Thanks!

Installing discordjs/opus over normal discord.js has an error

Recently, I asked a question on whether I could install discordjs/opus on top of an already installed discordjs here. I was told it would probably not have any issues, however this is not the case. This is the error it sent upon installing:

(I replaced my real name with 'MYNAME')
Any help will be appreciated on how I get around this.
You should open the Powershell using right click > Run as administrator. And retry. It will work, it is a simple permissions problem.

npm install -g #vue/cli get error VUE CLI INSTALL ERROR

I'm on PC/Windows 10, node15.0.0, npm 6.14.8
I just wanted to install Vue CLI and I got this error.
I have the latest version of Node.js as you can see below. I tried some different ways like npm uninstall -g vue-cli and npm cache clean --force, but, it did not work.

Any idea what that means and how to solve it?
I found that I could do nothing but press enter
Possible fixes:
open cmd as administrator - search for cmd, right-click, and open as administrator.
run this command npm cache clean --force
npm install again in this administrator cmd.
if still didn't work, close all node processes and try these steps again, also can try these after a system restart.
