I just tried to install this: npm install firebase-tools -g and I keep getting this error:

npm ERR! code EACCES
npm ERR! syscall mkdir
npm ERR! path /usr/local/lib/node_modules/firebase-tools
npm ERR! errno -13

I have all of the right permissions on my computer. I think this might be an issue on Firebase's end.

  • `I think this might be an issue on Firebase's end` no, because it's *your* computer telling *you* that *you* do not have permission to to create the folder `/usr/local/lib/node_modules/firebase-tools` - did you "try running the command again as root/Administrator" as suggested (root for linux, Administrator for Windows) – Bravo Mar 03 '22 at 00:16

Run it again but with this command: sudo npm install firebase-tools -g --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root

  • in other words, "do as the error suggests" :p are you sure those options still apply? they are not documented anywhere (any more) – Bravo Mar 03 '22 at 00:25
  • you're right, if those flags don't work i'd suggest reinstalling node with a package manager: https://docs.npmjs.com/resolving-eacces-permissions-errors-when-installing-packages-globally – Kyriazis Mar 03 '22 at 01:17

    I think the `sudo` part is enough - those flags are **old** – Bravo Mar 03 '22 at 01:24
