npm - EACCESS Errors

gistfile1.md

These three steps worked for me to remove the constant npm EACCESS errors I was recieving.

1. Reclaim ownership of the .npm directory
2. Add need write permissions for the node_modules directory
3. Finally sort the ownership of the npm bin too

From the terminal use the following commands to achieve the above"

1. $ sudo chown -R `whoami` ~/.npm
2. $ sudo chown -R `whoami` /usr/local/lib/node_modules
3. $ chown -R `whoami` `npm -g bin`

Lately, I'e run into a few additional errors that can be resolved similarly. These obviously affect the npm config and cache permissions.

1. $ sudo chown -R `whoami` ~/.config
2. $ sudo chown -R `whoami` ~/.cache
