npm start fails with the error below:

Compiled with problems:X

ERROR in ./src/logo.svg

Module build failed (from ./node_modules/@svgr/webpack/lib/index.js): Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/Users/stacktrace/.config/svgrrc'

Try this command : sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root

This worked for me: Step 1: Go->Computers->MacintoshHD->Users->{username of PC}-> Step 2: Press ('command' + 'shift' + '.') to show a hidden file on your PC. Step 3: Click on '.config' ->get info-> sharing and permission->click on the lock bar and provide your system password -> click on '+' sign -> user and guest->select your {user name} and select privileges to read and write. That's it it will definitely work. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74637371/how-resolve-permission-denied-problem-while-launching-react-app-using-npm-start

Remarkably, for me, on Ubuntu Linux, it seems to make a difference what subsuming directory I build/run the new react app from under.

For example, if I create the new react app under /home/gino/ , I am able to build/run it fine. npm run build

py[3.10.9] gino@gino-dell:~/goodbar
(master) $ npm run build 

> goodbar@0.1.0 build
> react-scripts build

Compiled successfully.

As a test I recursively copied this goodbar directory to a different mount point.

py[3.10.9] gino@gino-dell:~/goodbar
(master) $ cd /docs/other/
 py[3.10.9] gino@gino-dell:/docs/other
 $ ls
 py[3.10.9] gino@gino-dell:/docs/other
 $ cp -a ~/goodbar .
 py[3.10.9] gino@gino-dell:/docs/other
 $ cd goodbar/
 py[3.10.9] gino@gino-dell:/docs/other/goodbar
(master) $ npm run build 

> goodbar@0.1.0 build
> react-scripts build

Failed to compile.

@Techboy000 You're my lifesaver! Thanks! Is this a safe way to clear such permission issues?

I have got a different error here, which got resolved by changing the permissions of cache file under node_modules folder

Have the same issue when running npm run build. It is easy to chmod the directory attributes. However, anyone can tell me where to change the directory configuration, e..g, change /.config to another directory
