Unable to install on a MacBook Pro High Sierra

[ljmwaugh]

This is similar to Cannot install on MAC #297

issue sudo npm install -g @ibm-functions/shell

get error: Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@ibm-functions/shell/tmp-37712D1huM2Lxb4co' npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE npm ERR! errno 1 npm ERR! @ibm-functions/[email protected] postinstall: node bin/install.js npm ERR! Exit status 1 npm ERR! npm ERR! Failed at the @ibm-functions/[email protected] postinstall script. npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

I tried to change the permissions as mentioned in issue 297 but when I tried that I get "Operation not permitted"

sudo chmod ugo+rwx -R /usr/local chmod: -R: No such file or directory

ls -lO /usr total 0 drwxr-xr-x 976 root wheel restricted 31232 Jan 24 10:02 bin drwxr-xr-x 292 root wheel restricted 9344 Jan 24 10:02 lib drwxr-xr-x 234 root wheel restricted 7488 Jan 24 10:02 libexec drwxr-xr-x 17 root wheel sunlnk 544 Jan 4 10:49 local drwxr-xr-x 247 root wheel restricted 7904 Jan 24 10:02 sbin drwxr-xr-x 45 root wheel restricted 1440 Dec 18 09:22 share drwxr-xr-x 5 root wheel restricted 160 Oct 25 12:33 standalone

thanks @ljmwaugh for the bug report!

to help us understand better, would you be able to share a few details of your setup:

1. node version

2. how did you install nodejs? from nodejs.com? or via homebrew? or?

thanks!

thank you very much for the info @giulianodm. this issue is near or at the top of the triage list!

[starpit]

@giulianodm when you have a chance, could you give it another quick shot? npm install -g @ibm-functions/shell

i suspect you will still have an issue, but there is a chance that this quick fix has remedied the issue. thanks!

if the issue persists, please let me know how you installed NodeJs (e.g. from nodejs.com, using brew, etc.), and i'll continue to pursue this issue.
