Installing npm node-sass

Question

I have a project in vue.js. I can't install npm because I this error:

gyp ERR! configure error 
gyp ERR! stack Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/home/devel2   /Documents/vuejs/platzi-music/node_modules/node-sass/build'
gyp ERR! System Linux 4.13.0-36-generic

gyp ERR! node -v v9.8.0
gyp ERR! node-gyp -v v3.6.2
gyp ERR! not ok 

I tried with:

 sudo chmod -R 777 node_modules

I resinstalled nodejs to 8.XX

 sudo npm node-sass -F

But anything working.

Any idea? Thanks.

This solved my problem: I was also running as root(with sudo) so NPM disables scripts automatically. Then passing the --unsafe-perm to the npm install command solved the whole thing. I was using it with Angular-Cli but the error was so similar.

sudo npm install node-sass --unsafe-perm
