安装灯塔 - 问题 npm package

Question

I'm trying to install lighthouse in the terminal using

npm install -g lighthouse

But I get the following error. Note: "<user-name" replaces my name

(base) X-136:~ <user-name>$ npm install -g lighthouse
npm ERR! code EACCES
npm ERR! syscall mkdir
npm ERR! path /Users/<user-name>/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/lighthouse
npm ERR! errno -13
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! Your cache folder contains root-owned files, due to a bug in
npm ERR! previous versions of npm which has since been addressed.
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! To permanently fix this problem, please run:
npm ERR!   sudo chown -R 501:20 "/Users/<user-name>/.npm"

It seems to be that npm is placed under global, which is what is needed. Any advice on what to do? I have tried to run the sudo code but doesn't do anything.

(base) X-136:~ <user-name>$ npm list -g
/Users/<user-name>/.npm-global/lib

Many thanks

Answer 1

If you are using linux, you can try with sudo command,

sudo npm install -g lighthouse

Answer 2

At the end to solve the issue, I cleaned up the computer and reinstall all again, as an old package was interfering. Then give the correct privileges.
