I have done multiple things to try and get npm install to work.

Currently, I've have changed the file path to the folder which has package.json in it. However, this shows this error message:

npm ERR! code EPERM
npm ERR! syscall mkdir
npm ERR! path c:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\node_modules\.color-support-6lMVV8bL
npm ERR! errno -4048

Does anyone have any ideas?

  • Are you trying to install a package somewhere under `c:\program files`? Please share the exact command you tried to execute and at which location... – derpirscher Oct 22 '21 at 22:44
