Hello @kartik,

Change your file permissions like this

First check who owns the directory

ls -la /usr/local/lib/node_modules

It is denying access because the node_module folder is owned by root

drwxr-xr-x   3 root    wheel  102 Jun 24 23:24 node_modules

so this needs to be changed by changing root to your user but first run command below to check your current user:

id -un

OR

whoami

then change owner

sudo chown -R [owner]:[owner] /usr/local/lib/node_modules

OR

sudo chown -R ownerName: /usr/local/lib/node_modules

Hope it works!!

Hello @Kartik,

Problem is of permissions. same I was having in one of my nodejs script. I resolved simply by running the file using proper user.

>sudo su  [or whatever your user of nodejs ]

>node myscript.js    [what ever your way to run your VUE /Angular /React]

it work.

Don't change global permission of nodejs folder as it is not good practice, as there are lots of users using global nodejs modules or packages.
