What is your npm.prefix?

Check it with: npm prefix -g

If the directory is located somewhere were a normal user has no write access you will have to sudo npm install puppeteer or install it in some project (npm init)

I have the same problem, I'm using it as a dependency on a project I'm working on. If I try to install my project globally using sudo npm install myProject -g I get this same error message

Also ref #375

[ebidel]

Shall we mark this as a dupe of #375?

[aslushnikov]

How come this fails to install even if using sudo? I'm trying to install critical using sudo npm install -g critical but it gives me this error.

[proyb6]

@sryze It has the do with Nodejs 8, have you tried using Nodejs 6 or 7?

guys, don't use SUDO when you install this module. Вот.

[hopeseekr]

After hunting around the Internet, I found a solution:

sudo npm install -g puppeteer --unsafe-perm=true

[muhammedbasilsk]

@hopeseekr you rock !!!

[Liberateur]

sudo npm install -g puppeteer --unsafe-perm=true works and really thanks ! But I really wanted to understand why I had this error.

For me :
npm init && npm i puppeteer -> does not work
npm init && sudo npm i puppeteer -> does not work
sudo npm init && sudo npm i puppeteer -> works

@hopeseekr you saved my day
