npm windows missing write access
10,046
In my case it was a permission/owner issue. I deleted node_modules
and ran npm install
again without problems.

I'm getting this message
npm WARN checkPermissions Missing Write Access to D:\my\path\node_module\bcrypt
while installing bcrypt package using
npm i bcrypt
I tried executing the commands from
cmd
as an administrator and also frompowershell
, nothing worked. I also cleared the cachenpm cache clean
and manually deleted%AppData%/npm_cache
directory.I'm using:
npm 3.7.3
node 5.9.1
windows 7
Why isn't npm getting the permission to write?
Note that npm can install and write other modules(i.e angular2,mongoose,express etc) just fine.
