I am running node and npm on a raspberry pi 4 with the newest release of raspberry pi OS. Please explain what is going wrong and how to fix it
Looks like you're trying to install on your SD card or USB drive, which I assume is formatted as FAT32. Unfortunately, FAT32 doesn't support symlinks.
You could try this:
npm install --no-bin-links express
If that doesn't work, you'll have to use a filesystem other than FAT32.
Seems to be a permission issue.
if you're on mac, run:
sudo npm install express
if you're on windows I am not sure of the equivalent, but you have to run as administrator.

This didn't use to be the case as I have had no issues in the past, although the last time I tried to use an npm-related command was about a year ago.
I've tried many solutions, including sudo, nvm and uninstalling Node completely but nothing seems to work. I haven't used Node much before so I'm not very familiar with it unfortunately, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
run npm package as administrator by using the command
sudo npm install -g npm#latest
Turns out it was an issue with my antivirus software! After disabling the software and installing NVM everything now works fine.
I install nodejs with the help of nvm but after installing it and use add a module in workspace it shows error (not showing error in npm init)
I tried npx create-next-app with and without sudo but it isn't working..
So after that i tried making a plain workspace and use npm init it works then i try to install nodemon in it it shows same error. After some time i use no-bin-links and it works...
Kindly help please

when I tried to install npm install -g yo generator-code its showing this error . i have run it three times 2 on windows 1 on Linux but everytime its showing this error how can i fix it
Its a permission issue
i would recommned you configure npm to not require sudo/Admin permission to install global packages.
for now just downgrade your npm version or run your cmd with 'Admin privileges'.
if these steps doesn't help
then run this npm cache clean --force and then try reinstalling your package.
I'm trying to do the react tutorial on my local machine (centOS)

sudo npm install -g create-react-app

I tried going into the directory and untarring the .tgz file and changing around some of the permissions and nothing worked. I followed some solutions online with similar problems but still no luck.
I also ran
npm cache clear
Can anyone explain why this is happening? Any suggestions?
Running npm cache clear or even npm cache clear -fdoes not always clean all the cache.
Sometimes you should remove the cache files manually.
To do so go to the default NPM cache folder and remove its content:
Default: ~/.npm on linux, or %AppData%/npm-cache on Windows.
Then you can attempt to install your desired package with npm install -g.
Please, avoid using sudo npm install -g because you can mess up the npm permissions. Instead change the permission to npm's default directory, or change npm's default directory to another directory. Further details here:
https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions
WARNING: If npm's default path is just /usr, changing the directory permissions will be harmful.
Try to use $: sudo npm install
Still failed even after reinstall node and npm.

You are trying to run npm in a linux platform within a Windows FAT32 folder.
/media/lt1pchanifa/B0D0-8B34/Edwin/thinkster-ng2
According to github issue, permission problems occur while trying to access Windows partition.
Try to move the project to Home directory which is EXT4 and run the command.
I haven't tried this myself but maybe you could skip creating symlinks if it's only problem with them.
npm install --no-bin-links
