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

Question

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

npm install -g eslint

However I get the following error:

Deans-Air:~ deangibso         


        

Answer 1

you can login as root using sudo su. First run the command sudo su on your terminal, then give your login password. Finally execute your expected command npm install -g eslint. It works for me.

Answer 2

Just had the same error while running

npm install -g @ionic/cli native-run cordova-res

To fix, run the following

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y

I had read the already present solutions but thought there was something else, UNSAFE isn't a safe keyword, lol. While running the command with the --unsafe-perm=true, I noticed it downloading what seemed to be update binaries. So, I updated and tried again.
