CastMyCode installation error

Question

I try to install CastMyCode on my machine using this command: npm install -g castmycode

Unfortunately, I got this error message:

npm WARN locking Error: EACCES, open '/Users/zulhilmizainudin/.npm/_locks/castmycode-603889af8ee0127d.lock'

I'm using NPM v2.6.1.

Btw, for those of you that don't know what CastMyCode is, it's actually a simple web app that allow anybody to share their codes and let others view their codes.

It's built by one of my friend. If you're programming mentor/lecturer, CastMyCode can help your students see all your codes changes right inside their web browsers.

Sounds like a permissions problem, see this question: [here][1] [1]: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22152162/npm-cannot-install-dependencies-attempt-to-unlock-something-which-hasnt-been — IBam, Apr 08 '15 at 20:05

Solved. I run this 2 commands inside my terminal:

sudo chown -R $USER ~/.npm
sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/lib/node_modules

Then I run this command:

npm install -g castmycode

CastMyCode now successfully installed & I can use it. Thanks IBam for sharing the solution!
