I'm having permission issues when trying to install packages with npm. What should I do?
Permission issues with npm often occur due to incorrect directory permissions. You can try running the command with 'sudo' or change the directory permissions.
What does running npm with 'sudo' do?
Running npm with 'sudo' gives it administrative privileges, allowing it to install packages globally without permission errors.
Is there a safer way to fix these permission issues without using 'sudo'?
Yes, you can change the npm global directory to a location that doesn't require administrative permissions. This can be done by configuring npm to use a different directory.
How do I change the npm global directory?
You can change the npm global directory by running the command: 'npm config set prefix ~/npm'. Then, add '~/npm/bin' to your PATH.
