Error getting ENOTEMPTY directory not empty rmdir error on installing express in angular CLI app

Question

I am creating my first MEAN app. I have installed angular CLI and also tested it using ng serve -o this command then i build app using ng build which also succeeded.

Now when I am trying to install "express" and "body-parser" I am getting following error

ENOTEMPTY: directory not empty, rmdir '/media/iconflux/DATA/vinit/Mean/meanApp/node_modules/fsevents/node_modules/dashdash/node_modules/assert-plus'

I checked the directory it is empty. I also tried manually deleting the directory but still no success.

Here is the command i am using to install express and body-parser

npm install --save express body-parser

Hello Kartik,

Use this command : npm install --save express body-parser --force

Hope this helps!
