  • @ChaitanyaRajeev I think what @raven means is that in order for `npm install -g` to affect the `/usr/local/lib/node_modules` directory, it needs to be running as a user that has write access to that folder. Prefixing the command with `sudo` will ensure this happens. – ctt Aug 31 '18 at 03:09

sudo npm install  -g ethereumjs-testrpc You have to run this command as superuser otherwise it won't run . because it's trying to accessed your filesystem.
