I ran
npm config set prefix /usr/local
After running that command, When trying to run any npm commands on Windows OS I keep getting the below.
Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, mkdir 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\local'
at Error (native)
Have deleted all files from
C:\Users\<your username>\.config\configstore\
It did not work.
Any suggestion ?
Running this command was my mistake.
npm config set prefix /usr/local
Path /usr/local
is not for windows. This command changed the prefix variable at 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\local'
To access and make a change to this directory I need to run my cmd as administrator.
So I did:
npm config edit
(You will get notepad editor)prefix
variable to C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Roaming\npm
Then npm start
works in a normal console.
