Repro steps.

While trying to install the latest version of angular-cli I get the following errors after attempting to run:

npm install -g angular-cli

I get:

Take a look at this comment it should solve what you're seeing here.

omargon · 2016-05-11T14:35:16Z

Thanks. That did the trick.

JimLynchCodes · 2016-07-17T12:46:38Z

The link in the answer takes me on a whole page linking redirect adventure. What did you guys actually do to fix this? thanks!

JimLynchCodes · 2016-07-17T13:13:28Z

Was that random npm video what helped you guys?

I was getting this error:

Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/Users/jim/.config/configstore/ember-cli.json'
You don't have access to this file.

It seems like I fixed it by doing this:

sudo chown jim /Users/jim/.config/configstore/ember-cli.json

n1alloc · 2016-07-20T10:18:53Z

@JimTheMan Thanks! Was having the same issue with ng2's CLI and the previous comment's solution wasn't working.
Finally, can enjoy using the CLI :)

jUnG3 · 2016-07-22T18:39:52Z

@JimTheMan Thanks man that helped.

jimbojw · 2016-08-02T11:51:35Z

The root cause of this issue (and many like it) is npm/write-file-atomic#11.

There is an outstanding patch which will fix this for everyone. We're all waiting for someone from npm to accept it: npm/write-file-atomic#13

ricardoleme · 2017-09-20T12:18:54Z

Change the owner of npm's directories to the name of the current user

sudo chown -R $(whoami) $(npm config get prefix)/{lib/node_modules,bin,share}

fredericabdou · 2017-10-29T14:39:52Z

Hello Please Follow my simple guide to install angular 4 from the cli without any permission issues:

Install the angular-cli globally

sudo npm install -g @angular/cli

Create a new project and skip install

ng new my-app --skip-install

Serve the application and configure permissions

sudo chown <username> -R my-app
cd my-app
mkdir node_modules
chmod a+w node_modules
npm install
ng serve --open

ghost · 2017-11-01T14:50:55Z

For me this worked

TimUnderhay · 2017-11-10T18:52:15Z

Just got a bit of insight - I was running into the same issue with High Sierra. The problem is a script which gets executed by sass during the @angular/cli install, which even if you install with sudo, this script executes as user 'nobody'. This can be worked around with:

npm install --unsafe-perm -g @angular/cli@<version>

ASrima · 2018-01-05T01:53:56Z

Run the IDE as Administrator to open the Angula folder and it will work as I had the same problem and running Visual Studio Code(You can use any type of your favorite IDE) as administrator solved the problem.

kamensec · 2018-01-26T00:16:40Z

Hi guys I was facing the same issue, my solution was using the following comment

I used sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/ followed by npm install --unsafe-perm -g @angular/cli

kharsha64 · 2018-01-30T11:38:37Z

Thanks @CitizenTim
Your solution worked.

I didn't provide version in the command and the installer automatically picked the latest version to install.

npm install --unsafe-perm -g @angular/cli

mateusgalasso · 2018-04-25T00:51:52Z

I solved like that
sudo chown -R $(whoami) $(npm config get prefix)/{lib/node_modules,bin,share}

sick

umutesen · 2018-05-11T08:36:44Z

I was trying to uninstall cli globally but did not realise I had an app running!

I stopped the app and it started working.

livingWolf · 2018-07-11T06:43:07Z

I just remove files '/usr/local/lib/@angular',and then run 'sudo npm install -g @angular/cli ' again.
It works.

zuhairkareem · 2018-08-30T13:06:53Z

My npm config get prefix was /usr , so when I did
sudo chown -R $(whoami) $(npm config get prefix)/{lib/node_modules,bin,share}
as suggested in some comments above, it changed the ownership of /usr/bin/sudo as well. That messes up all sudo commands, so I had to goto recovery mode in Ubuntu to set it back to root again.

Check the npm config get prefix directory before doing it. Don't change ownership if it is /usr.

ghost · 2019-07-14T17:12:02Z

run 'sudo npm install -g @angular/cli working for me...!!
