EACCESS permission denied when running as root

[0xR]

I'm running on linux and I need to run npm start as root. When I do this I get this error:

$ npm start
internal/fs/utils.js:259
    throw err;
    ^

Error: EACCES: permission denied, stat '/tmp/fnm-shell-9197360'

  code: 'EACCES',

}

$ ls -l /tmp/fnm-shell*

drwxr-xr-x 6 rjs rjs 4096 19 mei 21:17 /home/rjs/.fnm/node-versions/v14.3.0/installation

What can I do to debug this?

I can't find an easy way to run without fnm. I didn't have any issues when running nvm.

Removing fnm from my $PATH and installing a system nodejs enabled my to run npm start as root again. But I expect there to be an easier way to remove fnm from my path. fnm should also work when running as root.

hey, are there still issues when running as root?
