安装 expo-cli 时出现节点依赖/权限错误

Question

I am trying to install expo to use react native, using npm install -g expo-cli but I get huge error logs.

I tried to chown /usr/local using sudo chown -R $(whoami) $(brew --prefix)/* /usr/local and sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local but I get chown: /usr/local: Operation not permitted . I tried updating node and npm, deleting them, reinstalling them, updating with homebrew, installing expo-cli with homebrew. I tried sudo installing. I get similar errors. I tried yarn add global expo-cli and I got almost the exact same output that I got from npm install -g expo-cli about the dependencies.

Here's the output I get in terminal from running npm install -g expo-cli :

I expected the output to say something like expo installed ok but instead it gives me the error logs about dependencies and permissions.

Answer 1

You need to have super user access to install a package globally. Try: sudo npm install -g expo-cli

Answer 2

You can use npx alternative of npm install. I can't fix the error, but $ npx expo init Awesomeproject works.

The only disadvantage of using npx is taking more time than using preinstalled expo. Try npx!

Answer 3

The best solution I found, as this is related to some new permissions controls in macOS is to use option 2 here: https://github.com/mixonic/docs.npmjs.com/blob/master/content/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions.md

This changes your default home folder for global modules, which may require reinstallation of others when it's time to update, but won't affect those already installed.

Otherwise an unsafe method of doing it is:

sudo npm i -g --unsafe-perm expo-cli
