Error: EACCES: permission denied (Ubuntu 16.04 x86_64)

(of course w/out sudo the "-g" npm can't write to the global npm package directory.)

$ sudo npm install -g bs-platform

Same Its not working with global install till then you can install locally.

step to install locally

--> npm install bs-platform

then to run locally : ./node_modules/.bin/bsb -init my-first-app -theme basic-reason

this command will create my-first-app inside your installation folder then

cd my-first-app

then use npm start

It will compile and create the file

then node src/demo.bs.js
you get the output on console like : Hello, BuckleScript and Reason!

This probably belongs on the bucklescript repo. Alternatively, you could ask for help on the forum.

The answer is https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions. Idk if there's anything we can do...
