I was trying to install vue-cli using

npm install -g @vue/cli

I get the following error

Unhandled rejection Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/home/moeketsi/.npm/_cacache/tmp'

npm ERR! cb() never called!

npm ERR! This is an error with npm itself. Please report this error at:
npm ERR!     <https://npm.community>

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!  /home/moeketsi/.npm/_logs/2019-08-02T07_16_39_683Z-debug.log

The log file is available here.

When i try running the command with sudo I get

sudo: npm: command not found

I'm using node v10.16.1 and npm vesrsion is 6.9.0 . I installed node.js from their website. I tried the following suggestions from this post and from maybe a slightly different case, none of the suggestions helped.

According to the documentation you might have issues if you have previous versions installed. You can check all the packages installed with npm list -g.

To uninstall previous versions of vue-cli use npm uninstall vue-cli -g

If this is not the case you can try running npm cache clear --force and try to install it again.

This is the Issue of permission . Go to the root and try to install.

Try from root user :

sudo -i

npm install -g @vue/cli

If u want to maintain current directory.

sudo -s

npm install -g @vue/cli
