Vue CLI Install Error

[hakanovski]

After entering "$ npm install -g @vue/cli" in Terminal, I am getting 3142 Error. I checked the forums, logs but could not debug it.

npm WARN deprecated request@2.88.2: request has been deprecated, see https://github.com/request/request/issues/3142 npm ERR! Unexpected end of JSON input while parsing near '...nes":{"node":">=6"}},'

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in: npm ERR! /Users/Hakan/.npm/_logs/2020-04-05T03_29_53_319Z-debug.log

I tried to clean the cache with npm cache clean --force and tried to install Vue CLI but after that I got bunch of different errors below.

Any idea?

I entered command with root/adm sudo and now I installed the Vue CLI.

"sudo npm install -g @vue/cli"

Looks like I resolved the issue.

Glad you found the solution, @hakanovski. : )

Here's a command to adjust the permissions of your computer's main node_modules directory:

sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/lib/node_modules

That should prevent you from having to prefix future npm commands with sudo.

Susan, I still have this problem when I try to install vue/cli. It seems fine in the beginning, but it ends with gyp configure ERR. Pasting below:

`> fsevents@1.2.12 install /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@vue/cli/node_modules/fsevents
> node-gyp rebuild

gyp ERR! configure error

Hi @vthil3049 - Can you show the full output including the original command prefixed with sudo?
