Failed to Install SASS - MacOS Mojave 10.14.6


Today I tried to install node-sass using: npm i -g node-sass

but it keeps getting failed. Can anyone help?

Solution

  • Assuming this on OS X, you can try

    sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/lib/node_modules
    

    so that huynguyen will have write access.
