I am trying to install some packages using node but getting the following error:

 npm update check failed                  
 Try running with sudo or get access                 
 to the local update config store via         
 sudo chown -R $USER:$(id -gn $USER) C:\Users\DELL\.config

I have checked the read/write permissions to the specified folder and since I am a windows user I can't use sudo

Please help me out

`node -version` ? – NiVeR Mar 16 '18 at 21:41
Version is 8.9.4 @NiVeR – Urja Pawar Mar 16 '18 at 21:44
In windows, you can open a cmd with elevated privileges by right clicking `cmd` and `Run as administrator`. Try to execute the command on that command prompt. – NiVeR Mar 16 '18 at 21:45
It says: 'npm ERR! cb() never called!' 'npm ERR! This is an error with npm itself. Please report this error at: npm ERR! ' – Urja Pawar Mar 16 '18 at 21:46
try `npm cache clean` with admin cmd – NiVeR Mar 16 '18 at 21:47
Its again showing same error, even when used with --force – Urja Pawar Mar 16 '18 at 21:49
