I tried to install npm install -g npm to update and I don't know if it was necessary but it failed. How do I give it permission to unlink?

The error is stating the obvious; the command does not have permission to unlink `/usr/local/bin/npx`. – l'L'l Sep 06 '19 at 01:34

What's your operating system? You might need to add `sudo`. – Travenin Sep 06 '19 at 14:38

You have to add sudo to execute it or give that folder permission by chmod if you're using ubuntu – Juhil Somaiya Jan 28 '20 at 10:48
