npm throws EACCES error on installation of Angular CLI

Question

I am unable to install Angular Cli globally through npm. I keep getting this error when I run npm install -g @angular/cli on macOS:

npm ERR! nod         


        

Answer 1

I fixed the issue by running

sudo npm install -g @angular/cli

After prompting for password enter it.

Then you will be able to install.

Answer 2

Important Note: My answer has vulnerability issues. Giving permissions as root. Use it only after analyzing the effect on your system.

After using

sudo npm install -g PACKAGE-NAME --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root

I still had issues creating a project with the CLI. these commands, allowing permissions, fixed it:

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

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

Answer 3

This was a great link for me.

https://flaviocopes.com/npm-fix-missing-write-access-error/

once I did this command

sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/lib/node_modules

in my terminal, the angular CLI install worked perfectly!

1. create a directory for global installations:

   mkdir ~/.npm-global

2. Configure npm to use the new directory path:

   npm config set prefix '~/.npm-global'

3. create a ~/.profile file and add this line:

   export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH

4. update your system variables:

   source ~/.profile

Answer 5

Try using this: On the command line, in your home directory, create a directory for global installations:

mkdir ~/.npm-global

Configure npm to use the new directory path:

npm config set prefix '~/.npm-global'

In your preferred text editor, open or create a ~/.profile file and add this line:

export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH

On the command line, update your system variables:

source ~/.profile

Test installing package globally without using sudo. Now run npm install -g @angular/cli it should work.

WARNING: Check that $(npm config get prefix) does not point to /usr by typing echo $(npm config get prefix)

I solved like that

sudo chown -R $(whoami) $(npm config get prefix)/{lib/node_modules,bin,share}

Worked for me
