I am trying to install elm on my computer (Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS).
Running $ npm install -g elm in accordance with the instructions at this link, I get a permission error. So I am trying again to use sudo, i.e. $ sudo npm install -g elm .
This gives another permission error, namely
$ sudo npm install -g elm npm WARN deprecated node-uuid@1.4.8 : Use uuid module instead /usr/local/bin/elm-package -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/elm/binwrappers/elm-package /usr/local/bin/elm -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/elm/binwrappers/elm /usr/local/bin/elm-make -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/elm/binwrappers/elm-make /usr/local/bin/elm-reactor -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/elm/binwrappers/elm-reactor /usr/local/bin/elm-repl -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/elm/binwrappers/elm-repl > elm@0.18.0 install /usr/local/lib/node_modules/elm > node install.js Error extracting linux-x64.tar.gz - Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/elm/Elm-Platform' npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE npm ERR! errno 1 npm ERR! elm@0.18.0 install: `node install.js` npm ERR!
