I have the exact same problem. It's not file permissions. Even chmod a+rwX -R ~/.nvm does not help and running the terminal as administrator also does not help. I tried npm i -g jest, and that worked just fine

Why is permission denied in terminal when I tried to install sass using node.js

Why can't I install? Help! I followed this tutorial and it told me to install node.js and I did.

This is the problem:
Error: EACCES: permission denied, access '/usr/local/lib/node_modules'
Two solutions:
Install globally as "root", using sudo
sudo npm install -g sass
Install locally (so "permissions" shouldn't be an issue):
cd <<my project>>
npm install sass
FYI, other options might include:
Edit your project's package.json
Install and use NVM
Here's a good tutorial on the latter:
