better-npm-run: Permission denied

[CatVas]

My OS is Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I have got an error when trying to run "sudo npm start". Here is the screenshot: http://joxi.net/krDxLR0S0n5VGr

It says "better-npm-run: Permission denied". Some failure with "better-npm-run start" script. code ELIFECYCLE, exit status 126.

Please help, how to solve it?

I was getting a similar (but not quite the same) error a few days ago in a fresh ubuntu VM, but I found the steps at this link helpful for general permissions problems w/ npm install/npm start:

https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions

Once I fixed my permissions, I didn't have to rely on sudo anymore (which i'm told is a bad habit w/ npm)

Totally correct @brandonmp, you should never have to use sudo with npm. @CatVas hopefully @brandonmp 's answer can help you out.

I'm seeing this issue, too, also on Ubuntu.

`npm start

What is this file /home/ubuntu/workspace/.babelrc? If you have babel configs in parent directories to your project, things are not going to work well.

Thank you guys. I did the "Option 1" steps from https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions, but the problem is still the same:

`react-redux-starter-kit@3.0.0-alpha.0 start /media/catvas/Work/DiskE-Job/!jobbing/WebDev/ReactJS/react-redux-starter-kit

better-npm-run start

I discovered a string: npm ERR! argv "/usr/local/bin/node" "/usr/local/bin/npm" "start" - maybe this is where the problem is? The permissions are: -rwxr-xr-x 1 catvas root 27459658 тра 25 19:40 node - for /node folder lrwxrwxrwx 1 catvas root 38 тра 25 19:40 npm - for /npm folder.

Even I am facing a similar issue with better-npm-run. I tried the below solutions. That didnt help: https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions

ules/.bin/better-npm-run: Permission denied [build-web-dev ] [build-web-dark-dev] npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE [build-web-dev ] [build-web-dark-dev] npm ERR! errno 126
