I'm getting this error on my Mac when I try to install react-devtools
Hakk-MBP:HelloWorld hakkikonu$ sudo npm install -g react-devtools

npm version is: 6.7.0
What is the reason?
[edit]
I believe this link is the correct solution.
Reinstall npm with a node version manager (recommended)
or
Manually change npm’s default directory
[original answer]
WARNING: this compromises security! It makes it possible for malicious code running without root access to write code into these directories, where it may end up running as root.
From here, don't run as sudo on Mac:
sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/.npm
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/lib
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/bin
Then try your command again without sudo. e.g. (react-devtools in your case)
npm install -g npm#latest
This solved the provblem for me after upgrading to npm v6.7.0

I am trying to install etherlime on Ubuntu 16.04 and npm 6.5.0:
sudo npm install etherlime
Even if I run the above command with sudo it gives me this error:
npm ERR! code 1

Try this one
npm i -g etherlime
or refer this link https://www.npmjs.com/package/etherlime
I've never used etherlime but you do not need to use sudo when using the npm command. Maybe npm is installed in a wrong way or You have an error due to the permissions of your directory.
Try with this:
sudo chown -R username directory.
I need the error logs to understand what the problem is, but remember to use npm in a sub-directory and not in the user's home directory.
mkdir folderName
cd folderName
npm install etherlime
You can found this answer useful.
Obviously before to try this You have to install etherlime globally (npm install -g etherlime)
When I attempt to install nativescrtipt by running npm i -g nativescript, I receive the following error:
npm WARN checkPermissions Missing write access to
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/nativescript
npm ERR! path /usr/local/lib/node_modules/nativescript
npm ERR! code ENOENT
npm ERR! errno -2
npm ERR! syscall access
npm ERR! enoent ENOENT: no such file or directory, access

npm ERR! enoent This is related to npm not being able to find a
file.
I have tried to run the command as sudo and receive the same result. I also attempted to add write permission to the node_modules directory.
I am running node v10.6.0 on macOS High Sierra.
Add sudo command to allow you run the program with security privilege
sudo npm i -g nativescript
I followed this link: https://docs.npmjs.com/resolving-eacces-permissions-errors-when-installing-packages-globally to resolve the issue.
I installed nvm and updated to the latest version of node. Then, the command npm i -g nativescript successfully installed the nativescript-cli.
The issue does not appear to be coming from nativescript, but an issue with my node installation.
Run the following command sudo npm i -g nativescript
This will forcefully with security permission install the missing scripts to run the npm command again with no bugs or warnings
When I try to run a npm install, it fails at a dependency called puppeteer.
And if I run:
npm install -g puppeteer#1.5.0
(existing in package.json as "puppeteer": "1.5.0",) it fails with the following error:
npm ERR! code EACCES
npm ERR! errno EACCES
npm ERR! FetchError: request to http://registry.npmjs.org/puppeteer failed, reason: connect EACCES 104.16.27.35:80

but I can access that URL (http://registry.npmjs.org/puppeteer) using my browser.
The other dependencies specified in package.json work fine. Only this one generates problems.
Details:
npm - 6.2.0
node - v10.9.0
OS: Windows
Any suggestions?
npm ERR! code EACCES
npm ERR! errno EACCES
This is a permission error, on a normal day, I will say you should just use sudo npm install -g puppeteer#1.5.0, but I will suggest you reclaim ownership of the .npm directory by running this:
sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/.npm
Then you need the write permission in node_modules directory:
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/lib/node_modules
after which you can run your npm install -g puppeteer#1.5.0, This should solve your issue.
UPDATE:
I will suggest two other options for you,
from your terminal, run this:
npm config set unsafe-perm=true
OR
use yarn add for your installation.
also sometimes it just takes a while; I used npm install (I'm trying to use formkit but I'm not sure if it matters) --verbose and I'm getting a bunch of
npm http fetch GET 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/#formkit%2fvalidation
70085ms (cache stale)
so I assume its some issue that requires me to download things that take a very long time. Maybe an issue connecting to the verification server?
Edit: restarted computer, cleared cache, etc etc. Still weird and slow.
Not sure what happened but fixed it by going into my IDE (Jetbrains WebStorm) and changing my package handler in settings to a different nodejs. The one I was using was in Program Files and was having trouble accessing pieces in AppData/Roaming, There was another installation inside AppData and picking that one automatically solved my permissions issue.
I always have same problem when installing node-sass
sudo npm install -g node-sass
gyp ERR! stack Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/Users/max/Sites/xxxxxxx/node_modules/node-sass/build'
I have update my node and npm version but the same nothing to do, it seems something with permission.... any idea?
It seems like it is due to a problem with installing node-sass which is one of the dependencies.
It is due to the use of sudo while trying to install packages.
Read this https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions to see how to fix your permissions.
It looks like you're running into permission issues. If you are installing npm-packages then it might possible that you are getting an EACCES error when trying to install a package globally. This means you do not have permission to write to the directories npm uses to store global packages and commands.
You can change the directory permissions by running commands: sudo chmod u+x -R 775 ~/.npm and sudo chown $USER -R ~/.npm or you can just run any npm command with sudo, that should get resolve your issue.
If you are installing an npm-package locally, then you should be in your local project directory and can try running sudo npm install <pkg-name> command to install required package. the purpose of using sudo is that it will change your owner permissions so you can make your current user authorized to run npm commands.
I'd recommend you to take a look at https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions
If you run sudo npm install -g node-sass --unsafe-perm should fix your issue.
I am trying to install web3 via npm.

How can I install web3?
Looks like your local .npm permissions are messed up. Just remove NPM cache by running:
sudo rm -rf /home/tom/.npm
and then try again.
