    Have you [tried this approach](https://stackoverflow.com/a/34614939/3758602). Usually it's caused by a change in the npm default directory path, to where you don't have permission to execute that command. Try to cross check the npm config file with `npm config edit` and change the prefix back to the default `Change prefix variable to C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\npm` – iamcastelli May 09 '20 at 23:31
