npm lodash install issue?

Question

I am trying to install lodash through npm on a project and every time I try to install it for my project I get this err:

D:\\github\\sandbox\\NgRx-Store>npm install --save lodash npm ERR! path D:\\github\\sandbox\\NgRx-Store\\node_modules\\fsevents\\node_modules\\aws-sign2\\package.json npm ERR! code EPERM npm ERR! errno -4048 npm ERR! syscall unlink npm ERR!

Is there any ways to install lodash and @types/lodash another way it is for an Angular 4 project.

Answer 1

Same thing happened with me. So, Try re-installing NodeJS and run npm install again. After that try, npm i -g npm and finally install npm i --save lodash . Hope this works for you also.

Otherwise, try downloading the file locally from https://lodash.com/ or try to use the CDN.
