When I running npm commands, I get the error ”npm err! please try running this command again as root/administrator.”

npm ERR! Error: EACCES: permission denied, open 'npm-debug.log.3300950547'
npm ERR! at Error (native)
npm ERR! {[Error: EACCES: permission denied, open 'npm-debug.log.3300950547']
npm ERR! errno: -13,
npm ERR! code: 'EACCES',
npm ERR! syscall: 'open',
npm ERR! path: 'npm-debug.log.3300950547' }
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Please try running this command again as root/Administrator.

npm ERR! Please include the following file with any support request:
npm ERR! /Users/nsebhastian/Desktop/DEV/learn-node/npm-debug.log

I don’t know why this error happens and how to fix it?

Can you help me?

Thanks!

    The cause: I think this error happens when you don’t have authorization to access or alter directories inside your Node project.

    Solution: To solve this issue, you should try running the command as an administrator as a first step.

    You can add the sudo command before your npm command on macOS or Linux as shown below:

    sudo npm install
# or
sudo npm start

    If you’re a Windows user, run the Command Prompt or PowerShell as Administrator.
