Question

EACCES, unlink '/home/tanan/.cache/bower/registry/bower.herokuapp.com/lookup/handlebars_b644d'
Error: EACCES
 unlink '/home/tanan/.cache/bower/registry/bower.herokuapp.com/lookup/handlebars_b644d'

Unable to identify this particular error Also if anybody knows how to install ember-cli as a notmarl user (not a root user)

Answer 1

When you installing did you use 'sudo' or run as the root user? For me the installer failed and I had not choice then I experienced the same issue.

Try and reset the permissions back from root to your user with these commands:

sudo chown -R <you>:staff ~/.cache
sudo chown -R <you>:staff ~/.npm

Assume you are running OS X, modify accordingly.
