I am trying to deploy a simple NodeJS Express application to Elastic Beanstalk using the EB CLI. However, my deployment always fails. When checking the logs, I find the following error:

bycrypt is a Node library that I am using but I am not sure why there is a permission denied error showing up. This solution here Beanstalk: Node.js deployment - node-gyp fails due to permission denied did not work for me.
