I tried <code> npm install --save express </code> to install express in my package.json file and it gave me
/storage/emulated/0/swifttest
$ npm install --save express

I know it has to do with permission but i dont know my way around. I use Android 5.1
Run your npm install as root I.e sudo npm install --save express.
Thanks i did it. I figured i went through emulated instead of termux directory. I used data/data/files/home as against emulated i used earlier

I am trying to download an npm package globally, but met with this error. I'm aware that the path where the package is downloaded should be /usr/local/lib/node_modules, but in the error, it seems the path is ../lib/node_modules/nodemon/bin/nodemon.js. I previously downloaded npm/node with Homebrew, but uninstalled it and re-downloaded node through its website.
Node v16.15.0
NPM 8.5.5
MacOS 12.2.1
How can I re-arrange these files so that global packages can be downloaded without this symlink error?

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:

Help how can I fix it?
It looks like you need root privileges to install react native cli since you don't have the right perms to install binaries in /usr/local/lib/node_modules.
Run the same command with sudo or login temporarily as root. Try the following
$ sudo npm i -g create-react-native-app
Alternatively, you could login as root
$ su
[Enter root password]
# npm i -g create-react-native-app
Im trying to install the angular cli using terminal but i keep getting this error

I am using my admin account so i am not sure why it is not working, also i have installed node.js just fine without any issues.
Check if your application has package.json. If not then run
npm init
If package.json exists try running
npm i
and then run
npm i -g #angular/cli
Try using --allow-root flag
sudo npm install #angular/cli -g --allow-root

I've been trying to fix the permission errors, but am stuck (I'm really new to this stuff).
Edit: I don't want to use sudo as I have seen that it could mess things up from multiple forums.
There are 3 possible solutions to your problem, which is basically lack of root access to install modules to root node_modules dir:
Run sudo npm i -g package#latest. This will fix your problem but will ask for root password every time.
Change your default global modules folder as outlined here with npm config set prefix
Install and use nvm to manage node and npm, it comes out of the box with properly set up folder structure within your local user. So no extra rights needed or messing with config prefixes.
You should run npm install -g as an administrator.
As the console said.
