Failed to create yoman webapp

Question

I get this when I try to create a webapp with yeoman.

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/yo/node_modules/insight/node_modules/configstore/configstore.js:66
                throw err;
                      ^
Error: EACCES, permission denied '/root/.config/configstore/insight-yo.yml'

I googled and I tried the following things, but this did not help:

chown root /root/.config/configstore/insight-yo.yml 

chown myusername /root/.config/configstore/insight-yo.yml 

Installed npm-sudo-fixand launched it, but so far failed.

I am on Debian Wheezy and have npm 1.4.4.

Answer 1

I ran into the same problem. I ran the command below, it fixed my problem:

mkdir -p /root/.config/configstore

chmod g+rwx /root /root/.config /root/.config/configstore

Answer 2

The same thing happened to me, I was in root mode user #. I will just go back to regular $ users, and it worked. I am using Zorin OS

yo meanjs

sudo root root, sudo root. sudo vs root - askubuntu

Answer 6

, yo nodejs. , yo node "npm",

sudo npm install --global yo --allow-root

Answer 7

chmod , , . , :

sed -i -e '/rootCheck/d' "${NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX}/lib/node_modules/yo/lib/cli.js"

If it yostarts as root, it rootCheckwill switch to UID 1000 (on Linux) or 501 (on OS X). This causes a permission error. But in the docker container, you can run it as root, so you have no other option.

You need to re-run this command after updating yoman. If NPM_CONFIG_PREFIXnot defined, you can use:

export NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX=$(npm config get prefix)
