    Thank you, Laura! I always use sudo. The issue I have because NPM is being installed under root. The way to fix this issue either reinstall npm with a node version manager or manually change npm’s default directory. but I su root I did not know the root password, but I changed it and was able to install it after I switched to root. for some reason pi username was not able to access '/root/.npm' even with sudo. The issue is fixed for me. Thank you !!
