    Well... have you checked to see what's inside file /home/yuching/.npm/_logs/2019-11-27T17_08_23_043Z-debug.log? It might actually tell you a lot. Commented Nov 27, 2019 at 17:40

    Hi! I see a "permission denied", have you tried with sudo? Commented Nov 28, 2019 at 12:16

I would first try

  • sudo chmod 777 ~/.node_modules
  • If this doesnt work, try it with installing it with the unsafe perm option

sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm

  • If this doesnt work try to rebuild node gyp

sudo node-gyp rebuild -g --unsafe-perm
