@janoop have you tried running npm cache clean as the ERR message suggests and then trying to install the script?

[ghost]

yes but that makes no difference

[Nikki1993]

Why are you using root to install the script in the home directory btw? Have you tried running the install command without sudo? or directly through Atom Editor?

apm install script

[ghost]

yes but it gives same error

[Nikki1993]

Alright, since you tried installing apm package with sudo, try running sudo npm cache clean Also, clean cache folders in your atom editor. ~/.atom/.apm (and ~/.atom/.npm) are download cache folders. Based on this info it's safe to delete what's inside those folders since it's package caches. Try clearing out those and then try installing package through atom editor again.

make sure you quit atom editor before clearing folders.

Cool it worked thanks. Nikki1993,
so what i did is sudo npm cache clean
and then deleted all folders from ~/.atom/.apm
and there was no directory named .npm so i created it and the
executed the command sudo apm install script
and this time output is Installing script to /home/nobodyu/.atom/packages ✓

Thanks Once Again
