try this

[ileonovdima]

thank you

[amasad]

Did that work?

[imserhii]

Yep! Thank you!
All who have same error write in terminal this:

sudo chown -R $USER ~/.npm
sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/lib/node_modules

:)

[amasad]

Thanks @Palgrover!
Let's keep this open if more people run into this we need to handle it. It seems fragile that we rely on the postinstall script.

Confirming that:

$ sudo chown -R $USER ~/.npm
$ sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/lib/node_modules

Worked on my side.

Did anyone face the error

because of this i cannot reload my simulator after changes

[amasad]

@Palgrover can you open a new issue? we'll talk about it there

[Palgrover]

Sorry for that i have new issue guys lets discuss there

[Palgrover]

@amasad sure we can keep this open for sometime so that more people can solve it easily

@amasad It Happened To Me. The chown fix worked great. I wonder if there is a commonality with people who have this issue maybe not having installed node with brew? (I didn't, I don't think.)

[mteece]

I needed to chown the AwesomeProject folder after it was scaffolded by init.

[ClemMakesApps]

The extra $ sudo chown helped fix my issue as well

[robbestad]

Yeah, can confirm you will run into problems when you somtimes install dependencies as root (and thus end up with mixed ownership in the /usr/local/lib/node_modules folder and sometimes other /usr/local folders). It's the first thing I look at when people come to me with npm dependency problems.

[lucamezzalira]

it works for me too :D

[amasad]

Can someone verify that this is fixed now?

[ghost]

Nice , It `s fixed

$ sudo chown -R $USER ~/.npm


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