Cannot npm install package

[Samuel Wood]

I'm getting an error trying to run sudo npm install create-elm-app -g on linux:

ERR { Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/create-elm-app/node_modules/elmi-to-json/unpacked_bin'

Any ideas?

Hi Samuel!

NPM is known for having permission issues when installing globally on UNIX.

Here are the possible solutions:

• Resolving EACCES permissions errors when installing packages globally
• Using Node Version Manager, which uses a better place for installing Node and packages effectively solving the problem

Let me know if this is helpful!
