Troubleshooting

EACCES: permission denied (Linux / macOS)

If you get a permissions error, configure your npm prefix to a user-writable directory:

Fix npm permissions
mkdir ~/.npm-globalnpm config set prefix '~/.npm-global'export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH

Add the export PATH line to your ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc.
