Browser Sync is not launching live server after installing node/npm as a root user. Backstory: I tried installing Browser Sync npm to no avail then i installed the npm package and got a permissions error so i installed via the root and it installed. I switched to my regular user acct and tried to launch browser sync to no avail i assumed it would run b/c npm or node was a globe install. While in my regular user account, i ran npm install -g browser-sync
in the terminal again, however im still having permissions issues.
npm WARN checkPermissions Missing write access to /usr/local/lib/node_modules/browser-sync
I'm using sublime 3 on a mac. Also, i tried using browser sync w/o installing npm to no avail any suggestions would be appreciated, even another tool recommendation.
Change the golbal insall directory using npm config command.
mkdir ~/.npm-global
npm config set prefix '~/.npm-global'
export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH
