Issue #2635 was fixed with the following instructions, also posted here for future reference.
User has confirmed that this fixed their issue.


This issue is caused by you having installed node through AUR and is an issue with the package manager. Your node install is in /usr/bin which requires elevated privileges on Arch/Manjaro. Many installers, such as n, install to this location as on most OSes it is not an issue. You need to have your Node install in ~/

Here is how to resolve it.

remove node

npm --global remove  npm

install nvm and use it to install npm

yay -S nvm
echo 'source /usr/share/nvm/init-nvm.sh' >> ~/.bashrc
exec $SHELL
nvm ls-remote
nvm install 9

confirm installation

node -v #should be 9+
npm -v #should be 5+

install yarn globally and Boostnote

npm install -g yarn
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:~/.yarn/bin' >> ~/.bashrc
yay -S boostnote

This solution has been tested on a Manjaro 18 virtual machine.

There will not be anything that can be done to correct this issue from this end as it is an issue with the package manager.
