Answer 1

you can try following command for expo :

sudo chown -R $USER:$GROUP ~/.expo

Answer 2

This one works for me:

sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/.npm

I did not use the -g because I am the only user. I used a MacBook Air.

Answer 3

Above answer didn't work for me. Just try to run your command with --unsafe-perm.

e.g

npm install -g node@latest --unsafe-perm

This seems to solve the problem.

Answer 4

This worked for me!

Answer 5

and then npm i goes normally

Answer 6

sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/.npm

sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/.config
