Global Elm install on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS failing
opened this issue · comments
(Nodejs v9.11.1 on Ubuntu 16.04.04 LTS)
Over the past few months, I have tried repeatdely to install elm with the following command
sudo npm install -g elm
It keeps failing to install.
Every time I try to install, similar error output is given.

Have you asked around on the Elm slack channel? http://elmlang.herokuapp.com/
If someone there can help figure out the root issue, it may reveal information that helps us resolve anything that may be on our end of this.
I'm going to close and then if (1) no new issue appears I'll assume the Slack helped and if (2) you find something wrong in this repo I'll get a new issue with more details. If all this happened already, I guess just reopen this one.
I fixed it!
npm config set prefix=~/npm
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/npm/bin" # add to .bash_profile or .bashrc
