I am trying to install on my system using this command:

sudo npm install -g truffle

But I am getting the following error:

npm ERR! code 1
npm ERR! Command failed: /usr/bin/git clone --depth=1 -q -b master https://github.com/debris/bignumber.js.git /home/xxx/.npm/_cacache/tmp/git-clone-f9c59612

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /home/xxx/.npm/_logs/2017-06-10T08_24_33_791Z-debug.log

Please help

This error occurs when there are permission issues for installation. To solve this, you have to install truffle with unsafe permissions:

sudo npm install -g truffle –unsafe-perm

If this doesn’t work, you will have to install the beta version.

sudo npm install -g truffle@beta

Hello.

I have the same problem, but I heard that one should avoid sudo if possible (perhaps I am wrong?). Do you perhaps know another solution to this problem?

Thank you for your time

Hi @Yoenca, do the same commands without sudo solve your error?
