Answer 1

As a general recommendation, never run npm install with sudo as it will create local files owned by root instead of your user , i think you shoud try the following :

• First change the owner of the folder : chown -R yourusername:yourusername /home/michael/Desktop/react/ , or if you don't want to type your username : chown -R $USER:$USER /home/michael/Desktop/react/
• then run : npm install node-sass ,do not use sudo
