To avoid extra questions and etc from mine side you need to fill all the fields?

Scraper Version - Latest? version of the scraper?

tiktok-scraper --version

[kilpsz]

I can't do that since I get the error in picture when doing anything tiktok-scraper related

[drawrowfly]

tiktok-scraper --version is not related to the scraping process

[kilpsz]

Oh, i still get the same error though.

My guess is that when you install the package there are not enough permissions to write folders

Post here screenshot of the folder content C:\Users\keith\tiktok-scraper\

Oh i got it now, now sure what i did wrong in the beginning since i did so many things,but to fix i had to delete all the stuff from npm folder and then install it again.

I have absolutely the same issue after installing it with: sudo npm i -g . from a just downloaded local folder.
