npm 错误！ 错误：EPERM：不允许操作，取消链接

Question

• OS : Windows 10.
• npm version : 6.9.0
• node version : 12.4.0

I'm working on an expo application. I would like to install all the packages on my expo application (npm install). But, an error occured :

17254 error [OperationalError: EPERM: operation not permitted, unlink ... I have seen this error on many subjects, but no one answer to my problem.

I've already tried to :

1. Launch my terminal as an administrator.
2. npm config set safe-perm=true.
3. npm install --no-bin-links
4. npm cache clear --force

An exemple of error message that I have :

17254 error   cause: [Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, unlink 'C:\Users\Thomas\Desktop\someDirectory\someDirectory\someDirectory\someDirectory\node_modules\.staging\react-native-99ed309f\Libraries\Renderer\oss\ReactFabric-dev.js'] {

Answer 1

Is there a another instance of node running, that is also using ReactFabric-dev.js? If so, terminate and retry. Also try to move your project to a folder "closer" to root. Windows sometimes gets confused with very long paths.

Answer 2

Solved it by logging into npmjs: npm login

or

uninstall all npm modules and re-install with npm install --no-bin-links

or

rd /s /q C:\Users\foo\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache
rd /s /q C:\Users\foo\AppData\Roaming\npm

I had this error message, to solve it you have to:

1) add your project folder in Windows Defender exclusions list .

2) remove your node_modules folder

3) run:

npm install

Answer 4

What I did is:

1. Deleted node_modules folder;

2. Opened VSCode as administrator;

3. Ran the following commands in terminal:

   npm cache clean --force

   npm install

Answer 5

Try installing it globally first, using the command

• npm install -g create-react-app

And then, you can create your app using the command,

• npx create-react-app <Name_of_your_app>

Answer 6

Make sure that the terminal has permission to access the folder. Here is good documentation that can he
