npm permission denied - node-sass

Question

I run npm command on Ubuntu and get permission denied

sudo npm install node-sass

EACCES: permission denied, access '/node_modules/node-sass'

I try to run it as a root user or with sudo and as global.

The project folder has public(777) access.

• nodejs version - v10.8.0
• npm version - 6.3.0

Also, the unsafe package does not solve the problem

sudo npm install --unsafe-perm node-sass

fixing-npm-permissions don't solve

Answer 1

I have had this problem before, it has to do with your package.lock file and below are the steps which I followed.

• Delete node_modules folder
• Delete your package.lock file or copy it again from your repo.
• Start NPM install again.
