And

Have you googled for the error you're getting?
https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/3431 says you should try either clearing your temp directory, running the installer as an admin, or disabling antivirus
https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/5759 says you might need to modify the privileges on your temp folder (if running as administrator doesn't help)

command prompt when i try install any dependence

when I try to install any dependence in command prompt get this error message and tried to google but nothing any one to help me please
please I need help someone to help me
try installing locally. and add this path to your system variable: C:\Program Files\nodejs
Reinstall the node.
You have two ways to install Node.js on your computer.
Option 1 – Setup by running the .msi installation file
Its a typical Windows installation and automated. No need to add
entries in environment varaiable
Option 2 – Setup by extracting .zip file
This method does not require admin access and can be used to install
on nodejs on a system on which you dont have admin access such as you
official laptop or desktop.
Removing nodejs is as simple as deleting the folder. You will have
to add entries in environment variable if you want to execute node
command from any location in windows command prompt. https://nodejs.org/en/download/
Based on the screenshot.your access is denied.Would suggest starting the terminal as an administrator before running the command.

nodeJs installation error on windows 10 - error 2203

I have downloaded version 12 of nodeJs, but unable to install on Windows.
Error - "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package.
This may indicate a problem with this package.The error code is 2203".
I have tried some solutions like giving permissions to Temp folder in C:/Windows folder, running as Admin although the usual user has full permissions.
Error code 2203 basically pops up when the user does not have
sufficient permissions to install the program to the folder that
contains the installation point or the temp folder. Make sure that you
are logged in as an Administrator to install the programs on the
computer
Run installation with elevated permission ( try to run a program with admin privilege). This should solve the issue.

Node fs Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, open

I get this error in my app:
Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, open 'C:\Program Files
(x86)\Full Menu\db\main.json'
The app I have is built with electron-boilerplate. I am using this function to get the path to the root of the app:
path.dirname(process.execPath)
And this is the script that writes the file:
fs.writeFile(apath + '/db/' + elem + '.json', JSON.stringify(results)
I know what the problem is: permissions. But how could I get this working without running the app as an administrator?
For the benefit of searchers; I has this error. I added full permissions for Everyone as a test, but that didn't fix it. The issue was that the file was set to readonly (by source control).
Unchecking the readonly option in the file properties fixed the issue.
On my Windows 10 machine, I encountered this error when running an old Node JS project. I think Node version 10.16.
In any case, it was trying to modify a dotfile in my project. Be sure that the file isn't hidden on Windows. After unchecking the hidden option in the file properties pop up. Everything worked.
So to fix:
Right click file in Windows Explorer
Select properties
Uncheck Hidden
Click Ok
Re-run your command.
If you have the file that you can't open or modify mounted as a volume in docker restarting docker should fix the issue.
i had to run the node command prompt as administrator and that fixed the issue.
I face this issue when I was deleting a file/folder.
Solution:
Just restart your code editor/ terminal
Or
Restart your computer
If you are facing this issue on Windows 10, then please try the following:
Uncheck readonly options for the folder (if read-only reverts, login as administrator)
Open terminal as administrator (if you are facing this issue on terminal)
Switch off ransomware folder protection
Change chmod of the folder
Check if the folder is hidden or not
Disable antivirus protection (temporarily) and try this
Or move your project folder somewhere else, where antivirus ransomware protection is disable.
If nothing above works, then try the following:
https://appuals.com/how-to-fix-folder-keeps-reverting-to-read-only-on-windows-10/.
Hope this would of help.
I think that you must change the permissions recursively to the file so the user executing your script can read / write this file.
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chmod
Restarting my computer fixed this problem for me.
I had this issue too. I'm using TFS (or VSO, Azure DevOps, etc.) for source control. I was trying to compile from .scss to .css and it couldn't open my .css. I just needed to right-click on my .css file and Check Out for Edit...
I had the error because i have already open the file before
var stream = fs.createWriteStream(outputFileName, {flags:'a'})
var output = fs.createWriteStream(outputFileName, {flags:'a'})
this is not an exact answer but may help:
i think if you want to read or readSync a file that doesn't exist you will encounter an EPERM error...
in many programming languages, any permission related error may not
directly means an actual permission issue
for example in PHP Folders (not files) must delete by php rmdir() method but if you want to do that with unlink() , u will encountered with a wrong Warning message that says "permission denied"
I was facing the same problem using the following software:
Windows 10
GitBash
Node v19
I was able to solve it opening GitBash as admin
I had the same problem, when i tried to create and write to a file using NodeJS. I thought it had to do with my windows file/folder access permissions, but after restarting my computer and running the code again, I still got the same error.
However, this time around my antivirus gave me a pop-up message also, stating that it blocked permission for Node.exe to write or open files. So once I flagged Node.exe as safe for my anti-virus program (Avast).
It worked for me. Disabling my antivirus could've also temporarily fixed it, I guess.
If you use windows 10, you must turn off Ransomware protection. Ransomware protection will prevent all folder and file changes.You can turn off it in Windows Security Center. See screenshot below:

Installing Node.js (and npm) on Windows 10

I had some issues trying to install Node on Windows 10 and found the solution.
The error was as follows:
C:\Users\Stephan>npm
Error: ENOENT, stat 'C:\Users\Stephan\AppData\Roaming\npm'
The solution is below.
Edit:
It seems like new installers do not have this problem anymore, see this answer by Parag Meshram as my answer is likely obsolete now.
Original answer:
Follow these steps, closely:
http://nodejs.org/download/ download the 64 bits version, 32 is for hipsters
Install it anywhere you want, by default: C:\Program Files\nodejs
Control Panel -> System -> Advanced system settings -> Environment Variables
Select PATH and choose to edit it.
If the PATH variable is empty, change it to this: C:\Users\{YOUR USERNAME HERE}\AppData\Roaming\npm;C:\Program Files\nodejs
If the PATH variable already contains C:\Users\{YOUR USERNAME HERE}\AppData\Roaming\npm, append the following right after: ;C:\Program Files\nodejs
If the PATH variable contains information, but nothing regarding npm, append this to the end of the PATH: ;C:\Users\{YOUR USERNAME HERE}\AppData\Roaming\npm;C:\Program Files\nodejs
Now that the PATH variable is set correctly, you will still encounter errors. Manually go into the AppData directory and you will find that there is no npm directory inside Roaming. Manually create this directory.
Re-start the command prompt and npm will now work.
go to http://nodejs.org/
and hit the button that says "Download For ..."
This'll download the .msi (or .pkg for mac) which will do all the installation and paths for you, unlike the selected answer.
In addition to the answer from #StephanBijzitter I would use the following PATH variables instead:
%appdata%\npm
%ProgramFiles%\nodejs
So your new PATH would look like:
[existing stuff];%appdata%\npm;%ProgramFiles%\nodejs
This has the advantage of neiter being user dependent nor 32/64bit dependent.
New installers (.msi downloaded from https://nodejs.org) have "Add to PATH" option. By default it is selected. Make sure that you leave it checked.
Everything should be installed in %appdata% (C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming), not 'program files'.
Here's why...
The default MSI installer puts Node and the NPM that comes with it in 'program files' and adds this to the system path, but it sets the user path for NPM to %appdata% (c:\users[username]\appdata\roaming) since the user doesn't have sufficient priveleges to write to 'program files'.
This creates a mess as all modules go into %appdata%, and when you upgrade NPM itself - which NPM themselves recommend you do right away - you end up with two copies: the original still in 'program files' since NPM can't erase that, and the new one inn %appdata%.
Even worse, if you mistakenly perform NPM operations as admin (much easier on Windows then on *nix) then it will operate on the 'program files' copy of NPM node_modules. Potentially a real mess.
So, when you run the installer simply point it to %appdata% and avoid all this.
And note that this isn't anything wierd - it’s what would happen if you ran the installer with just user priveleges.
You should run the installer as administrator.
Run the command prompt as administrator
cd directory where msi file is present
launch msi file by typing the name in the command prompt
You should be happy to see all node commands work from new command prompt shell
I had the same problem, what helped we was turning of my anti virus protection for like 10 minutes while node installed and it worked like a charm.
The reason why you have to modify the AppData could be:
Node.js couldn't handle path longer then 256 characters, windows tend to have very long PATH.
If you are login from a corporate environment, your AppData might be on the server - that won't work. The npm directory must be in your local drive.
Even after doing that, the latest LTE (4.4.4) still have problem with Windows 10, it worked for a little while then whenever I try to:
$ npm install _some_package_ --global
Node throw the "FATAL ERROR CALL_AND_RETRY_LAST Allocation failed - process out of memory" error. Still try to find a solution to that problem.
The only thing I find works is to run Vagrant or Virtual box, then run the Linux command line (must matching the path) which is quite a messy solution.
For me I had to delete the nodejs folder in \program files and then when I went to install through the msi it worked. Seemed like when I uninstalled Node it didnt actually delete this file
I had the same problem, but after trying everything on this post unsuccessfully, I just had to restart.
So if you haven't tried restarting the computer after the installation, try it.
Restart your computer after installation

Rollback on node.js install on Windows 7 x64 PC

I've been trying to get node.js installed on my home PC for a while now with no luck. I've tried different versions for the past couple months and no matter what I try it starts rolling back the install at "Creating shortcuts" and it fails to install. I created an install log for anyone who wants to look at it and take a stab at helping me solve the problem. Thanks!
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/177486/MSIf99e3.LOG
I have faced the same problem, I have resolved my issue. I just mark performance counter to Install when required during installation of node.js
Windows Installer is reporting that it's installed even though it's been rolled back.
Run msiexec /x {29552F29-7FE9-441F-BC56-E6B591587A59}
Where the above guid is the ProductCode value from your log.
If that doesn't work and you have access to Orca.exe from the Windows SDK, you may be able to modify WixSchedInternetShortcuts to a false condition and install successfully. To do that, install Orca, then right click on the node.js msi file and choose 'Edit with Orca' then:
Highlight InstallExecuteSequence under "Tables" on the left.
Find WixSchedInternetShortcuts in the right
Double-click the Condition cell and change VersionNT > 400 to 0
Go to File -> Save
Run the installer again
After installing this version, you should be able to cleanly remove it via Add/remove programs and install another version without modifying the msi file.
I had the same problem with v0.10.35. (23 Jan 2015)
All I had to do was disable the shortcuts in the custom install pane and it worked fine:
My solution
You must install each item separately.
Npm package manager
Add to path
Online documentation ...
Nodejs runtime / Performans counter
(İmportant) nodejs runtime / Event tracing(etw) (select"feature will be installed be required"
restart computer
Last install view
All above methods do not work.
-running msiexec as admin
-msiexec /x ...
-modifying WixSchedInternetShortcuts
-dropping the row WixSchedInternetShortcuts
-even this: removing the option of creating shortcut to online documentation during the installation
Might manually fix it, you can read this help to install product and then add C:\Program Files\nodejs Path to Windows Environment variables.
Open the command promt and paste the below comman
reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib_V2Providers{793c9b44-3d6b-4f57-b5d7-4ff80adcf9a2}" /s
reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib_V2Providers{1e2e15d7-3760-470e-8699-b9db5248edd5}" /s
If you get a result for the command , go to the registry key and delete that key. Now try to install it again. You should be able to install it now.
msiexec /i node.msi /qn+ ADDLOCAL=ALL REMOVE=NodePerfCtrSupport,NodeEtwSupport
This might help
Had the same problem. Solution 1 provided by Jim Schubert did not fix it. I then used Orca to edit the installation file. Changing the VersionNT condition also did not fix it for me. I then just dropped the rows from WixSchedInternetShortcuts and it installed successfully. I guess it had some problem with writing the shortcuts. I had also previously tried running msiexec as admin ("/a" option), but this didn't fix it...
One point to be aware of (I learn it the hard way): even after having edited the installer with Orca, don't try to uncheck the checkboxes for shortcuts creation in the installer, leave them checked or it will fail with the same error message.
It happened to me as well, I removed almost everything from the installation and completed the installation. After that I ran the installation again and added one by one until I installed all.
You can always use chocolately install:
https://chocolatey.org/packages/nodejs.install/8.11.1
choco install nodejs.install --version 8.11.1
Check if Avast Antivirus is installed in your machine.
If it is turn off the shields and try installing nodejs
Now it works completely fine...
