Error: EACCES: permission denied when trying to install ESLint using npm

Question

I\'m trying to install ESLint with npm by going:

However I get the following error:

Deans-Air:~ deangibso         


        

Answer 1

Running the following command solved the issue for me while installing my packages.json :

 sudo npm install --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root

To install only the package which caused the issue:

  sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root eslint
