I really don't understand this error. I have used sudo, but I got Error: EACCES: permission denied, unlink. Why this issue happened ?

@kobecow You can check permission of /Users/seijinishi/node_modules using ls -l. If this directory do not exist, create it. Also would recommend to run below commands: chmod 755 /Users/seijinishi/node_modules cd /Users/seijinishi npm install ibm_db Thanks.

cd node-ibm_db

npm install
