I got an EPERM error when i tried to install mongoose. I've tried running the command as an administrator and it still didn't work

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 cache clean
Try to install again
Should help.
