I am trying to run npm install for the odin project javascript fundamentals part 4 lesson, at first when i forked and cloned the repo and ran the node install like the instructions say I had a permission error but I fixed that by deleting the node_module folder from the npm folder inside the nvm folder. Now I have a new error for which I will include a screenshot. I have spent hours online searching for answers, I have tried making sure access is granted to my terminal from the file, I have also like I said deleted the node_module file, I have also deleted the packagelock.json file like it said online and still no luck. I tried clearing cache also and I tried reinstalling all. I have tried making sure no program is running the folder I am trying to run the command on. None of this works if anyone can help me please let me know

Update

I have no found why it cannot find the files as I had deleted them when i removed the node-modules folder which was the advice I had online for this new error that i am now recieving with the folder put back, I have deleted old error this is the new one, I have tried everything from checking permissions to uninstall and reinstall, and all the things mentioned above

I had the same issue. Make sure you're really in the correct directory in your terminal.

In my case, I made a directory called "javascript-exercises" and cloned the repo in it which meant I had a child directory also called "javascript-exercises" within it. When I deleted the child directory and copied all the files into the parent directory, the npm install worked.
