How do I resolve gyp ERR! stack Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir …node_modules when I am using sudo...
Before my last pull I was able to install npm packages with sudo npm install
The last package I installed was dotenv. I can't imagine that would cause this problem but I can't say for sure.
but now I am getting the EACCES error even if I use root.
I removed the entire directory and cloned again with no luck.
