    How are you installing it? If it's a command line, use `sudo` to run as root. – Tim Roberts Aug 26 '23 at 18:03
  • It looks like you are trying to install packages in `/sur/local/lib`. Why are you installing them there and not in your user directory somewhere? – Code-Apprentice Aug 26 '23 at 18:03

    Also, I recommend reading the entire error message. Especially the last few lines which give a hint to the solution. If you don't understand what "running npm command again as root" means, then google it. – Code-Apprentice Aug 26 '23 at 18:05
