Question

I'm trying to install npm readline but it's giving this error now and before it had given others

Deleted several folders and uninstalled nodejs but nothing helped I don't know how to solve it

Answer 1

Based on the log messages, the npm agent appears to be facing issues in creating the necessary folders due to insufficient permissions.

As suggested by @ratnez here you can grant the required permissions as follows:

1. Right Click The Folder > Properties > Security Tab
2. Click on Edit to change Permissions
3. Select the user and give Full Control to that user.
