getting "ENOTEMPTY: directory not empty, rmdir ....." error on installing express in angular CLI app.

Question

I am creating my first MEAN app. I have installed angular CLI and also tested it using ng serve -o this command then i build app using ng build which also succeeded.

Now when I am trying to install "express" and "body-parser" I am getting following error

ENOTEMPTY: directory not empty, rmdir '/media/iconflux/DATA/vinit/Mean/meanApp/node_modules/fsevents/node_modules/dashdash/node_modules/assert-plus'

I checked the directory it is empty. I also tried manually deleting the directory but still no success.

Here is the command i am using to install express and body-parser

npm install --save express body-parser

Note: I am working on ubuntu 14.0

Any help will be appreciated Thanks.

try `npm cache clean` before installing. – Amit Chigadani Oct 09 '17 at 11:17 — Amit Chigadani, Oct 09 '17 at 11:17
