npm ERR! Error: EACCES: permission denied, open - node.js

I am trying to install on my dependencies from an already existing react project using npm install, however, is giving me this error every time now I try to run npm install.
Does anyone know why is this happening now? I have several projects that I have been working on before installing and uninstalling with no problem at all.

You probably create your project as root, and now you try to install module on the same folder as a simple user. You need to login as root to give permissions to user, or change the folder owner or delete and recreate your project folder

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

Unable to install npm packages

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 -

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.

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.

karenchan:~ karenchan$
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:

sudo npm install -g npm
