Answer 1

I followed the instructions as per @WaLid LamRaoui's answer as I also use to run npm install with sudo. It seemed to have done the trick in terms of changing the owner of the folder, but I still got an error when trying to run npm install. I then realized another problem which has to do with my cache folder which contains root-owned files, so for those whose also have this problem after following the approved answer, I simply did this:

sudo chown -R 1003:1003 "/home//.npm"

After this I ran npm install and it worked fine.
