Unable to install npm packages - node.js

I have to install npm package hence used command - npm install -g <package-name> but it resulted into write access error so I changed permissions as follows with refernce to https://flaviocopes.com/npm-fix-missing-write-access-error/
sudo chown -R $USER /opt/node-v10.22.0-linux-x64/lib/node_modules/
and tried again but if failed again -

npm ERR! syscall symlink

also when I run command with sudo, it gives npm not found. Please guide what is wrong here.


you need read write permissions to /opt/node-v10.22.0-linux-x64/ as it creates a symlink there for you.
you can also check the destination in error it clearly says you don't have permission there.

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

For EACCES errors you should either reinstall npm with a Node version manager or change npm's default directory manually.
