Permission errors for deno install npm:PACKAGE

[Brixy]

deno: 1.28.3
OS: Void Linux

With Deno 1.28 I would like to drop node completely.

While using npm modules in my scripts works perfectly installing npm executables (in the home folder) causes permission errors.

This is what I am trying to do:

deno install --root ~/.deno -A npm:PACKAGE

Error message:

error: Permission denied (os error 13)

Installation does work with:

sudo deno install --root ~/.deno -A npm:PACKAGE

Yet, when you run

PACKAGE

you get this error message:

error: Uncaught TypeError: Permission denied (os error 13)

sudo PACKAGE

does work correctly but as the script is called by other scripts it is not always possible to prepend sudo.

(The same package installed via node does not require sudo.)

Is is possible to run (and possibly install) PACKAGE without sudo? Thank you very much.

@dsherret please take a look

Installation now works perfectly with deno 1.29.2. No OS permission errors any more.

I’ll mark this question as answered.

Stand-alone scripts work fine from the command line (e.g. mjml or mammoth).

Scripts that require other packages (e.g. stylelint) do not work correctly; but this is a different topic.
