Can be verified on any platform using docker

gterras commented 6 years ago

Your error message says permission denied, npm global installs must be given root privileges.

probil commented 6 years ago

@gterras Command was run with root privileges. I'm sure about that. I've update the description so it's more obviously now

probil commented 6 years ago

@gterras FYI https://askubuntu.com/a/700266/510172

If you are using bash (the default), your prompt will tell you if you are acting as root. If it ends in a $ you are running as a normal user. If it ends in a # you are running as root.

Check the line above (it ends with a # so, I'm running it as root )

# npm install -g @vue/devtools

Any updates on this issue? I'm getting the same error when trying to install devtools. Thanks

probil commented 6 years ago

Thanks for your message @fabioguarrasi. I thought I'm alone with this issue. Please, :+1: the issue to support it :)

fabioguarrasi commented 6 years ago

@probil are you using sudo ?

probil commented 6 years ago

@fabioguarrasi Yeap

fabioguarrasi commented 6 years ago

run this command sudo chown -R `whoami` /Users/{{your_user_profile}}/.npm-global/ then install the package globally without using sudo

probil commented 6 years ago

It seems like you are from Mac OS world. There is no /Users/ folder on linux :smile: I have no issue with any other packages installed with root permission globally.

fabioguarrasi commented 6 years ago

yes, I have a mac. I never had issues with root permission as well, but this helped me to solve the problem

hubitor commented 6 years ago

I get the same error on Arch Linux (also with sudo)

aivarsliepa commented 6 years ago

Can confirm, have the same issue on Ubuntu 18.04. Tried both with sudo and as root.

HeinWinToe commented 6 years ago

Same issue on Manjaro. Based upon #609 and Troubleshooting Guide from electron, I can install it by setting --unsafe-perm to true. Complete command would be sudo npm install -g @vue/devtools --unsafe-perm=true.

@tarunmanchukonda I ended up using Chrome extension instead of standalone electron app.

I also have this issue, Here is what I was doing until now: #1076 Reading this thread I tried with sudo and here is what I get: btw I'm on Archlinux:

This issue has been open for 1 year and 5 months and almost 10 people are having it. Please consider putting some effort on this. Please keep in mind that some of us are using vue for native applications, I'm using nativescript-vue personally. For us, using browser extension is not an option. We have to use the electron app. I'm sure you know how difficult vuejs development can be without the wonderful devtools.

I also experienced it. I tried to install it in a newest Lubuntu 19.10 but I get the same error with @aranmohyeddin @tarunmanchukonda and @probil. Its said that its a permission isuue even though I already sudoing. Here is the additional log from /root/.npm/_logs/2019-10-24T17_42_40_610Z-debug.log
