What i tried:

• completely removed node and NPM and installed.

  sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/.npm

by following the answer from here: npm throws error without sudo

Note:

I tried to install globally is working. But installing locally is not working. I tried both sudo and normal user.

Answer 1

即使您正在使用sudo用户，也请尝试sudo npm install

Answer 2

使用最新的npm

npm install -g npm
