I just installed Linux Mint (version 17.2) and I'm trying to install Ember. Everything seemed to go fine, but I'm getting this error when I run ember new testProject.
create vendor/.gitkeep
EACCES, mkdir '/home/mkm/.npm/mkdirp/0.4.2'
Error: EACCES, mkdir '/home/mkm/.npm/mkdirp/0.4.2'
at Error (native)
Per a recommendation in the Ember Documentation I used this guide to install Node.js and NPM. Some of what I've read suggest the issue is nodejs was installed with sudo, but apt-get failed when I didn't use sudo.
I attempted to run the new project anyway. bower install completed successfully. But ember serve failed with Cannot find module 'chalk'.
--Version Info
$ ember --version
version: 1.13.8
Could not find watchman, falling back to NodeWatcher for file system events.
Visit http://www.ember-cli.com/user-guide/#watchman for more info.
node: 0.12.7
npm: 2.13.4
os: linux x64
The only command that was needed to run with sudo for me was:
npm install
I suggest you delete node_modules/ in your project directory completely, then run:
sudo npm install
You can also add option --verbose to see if everything is correctly installing and installation isn't stuck.
You could also change permissions for .npm directory to avoid some problems like that in future:
sudo chmod 777 -R /home/mkm/.npm
