This is probably because you're installing the package as root, which is not recommended. You should install packages in to your home directory and then adding the directory where the binaries are located to your PATH variable.

There are instructions for this here: https://docs.npmjs.com/resolving-eacces-permissions-errors-when-installing-packages-globally

It's probably good to remove the vmd package that you had installed as root before you install it as a non-root user: sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/node_modules/vmd

After you've completed the steps, just install vmd without sudo: npm install -g vmd And then start it by typing vmd.

I'm closing this ticket. If the instructions above do not resolve your issue, feel free to reopen.
