New to nodejs and npm. I have installed nodejs and npm using nvm for windows. Now no matter what library I try to install I get:
npm ERR! code EPERM
npm ERR! syscall mkdir
npm ERR! path C:\
npm ERR! errno -4048
npm ERR! Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, mkdir 'C:\'

I've tried clearing the cache, changing the install path, setting the prefix at both the command line and in the config file. Any more suggestions?
Thanks!

I'm getting a permission error when I try to run npm install inside a project that's on my external SSD drive. I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 and I would like to use npm on the projects store at the drive.

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.
i am still new and i wanted to start learning react native but when i was looking up how to install it said npm i -g create-react-native-app and that didnt work so i tried npm i -g react native and it keeps saying the same err

It is not having write permission. Use the following command in your terminal of root folder
chmod 755 android/gradlew
npm i -g nodemon#latest
