How to Solve Stack error: eacces: permission denied, MKDIR

Recently, I encountered a node sass package installation problem in my own project. The problem is as follows. When I sudo NPMI get the following error message, I tried to modify the permissions and the version of the package, but I still couldn’t solve it. Finally, Google finally solved it. Here, I write down the cause of the problem and the solution

gyp verb build dir attempting to create "build" dir: /Study/github/react-view/node_modules/node-sass/build

First of all, the reason for this problem is that NPM will have a life cycle, and a package will have a life cycle to execute something. For security reasons, it will be automatically degraded, resulting in no permission to perform some operations. Use the — unsafe perm parameter to unlock the restriction. Before the NPM lifecycle command is executed, it will judge that the configuration of unsafe perm is true before continuing, otherwise it will exit ahead of time

 // lib/utils/lifecycle.js
    unsafe = unsafe || npm.config.get('unsafe-perm')
    if ((wd.indexOf(npm.dir) !== 0 || _incorrectWorkingDirectory(wd, pkg)) && !unsafe && pkg.scripts[stage]) {
      log.warn('lifecycle', logid(pkg, stage), 'cannot run in wd',
        '%s %s (wd=%s)', pkg._id, pkg.scripts[stage], wd
      )
      return cb()
    }

For the reading order of configuration, please refer to NPM config, that is, CLI – > env -> npmrc -> default。

The initialization of unsafe perm in default is as follows:

// lib/config/defaults.js
    'unsafe-perm': process.platform === 'win32' ||
                     process.platform === 'cygwin' ||
                     !(process.getuid && process.setuid &&
                       process.getgid && process.setgid) ||
                     process.getuid() !== 0

For UNIX platform, the default value of NPM command executed by root user will be false

solutions :

Temporarily modify NPM configuration during installation sudo NPM install — unsafe perm

Set the default configuration of NPM in the project NPM config set unsafe perm = true

Create. Npmrc in the project to override the default configuration

// .npmrc
unsafe-perm = true

Global setting NPM config – G set unsafe perm

Here, you need to change the permission of the node directory to root

chown root:root node

Solutions provided by NPM

 ## create .npm-global folder
 mkdir ~/.npm-global
 ## set
 npm config set prefix '~/.npm-global'
 export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH
 source ~/.profile
