Permission errors while installing with yo

06 Dec 2014

To start working with yo + angular, we first install it using npm:

sudo npm i -g yo

Then install angular:

sudo npm i -g generator-angular

and scaffold the app as below:

yo angular

But you realize that this fails with a lot of permission errors. To resolve these, run:

sudo chown -R whoami ~/.npm

If you continue to get a lot of warnings, you can ignore these using:

npm WARN unmet dependency

If you still get errors running grunt tasks:

npm update npm -g sudo npm update npm -g (i used this command on my mac)

Then type this command

npm install
