Repository generation fails - Error: EACCES permission denied, open '/root/.config/configstore/insight-yo.json'

Following the instructions, I ran the commands:

[root@laptop1 swagger-spec]# npm install -g yo

Running sanity checks on your system

✔ Global configuration file is valid
✔ NODE_PATH matches the npm root
✔ Node.js version
✔ No .bowerrc file in home directory
✔ No .yo-rc.json file in home directory
✔ npm version

Everything looks all right!
+ yo@2.0.2
added 538 packages in 95.907s

I used the --ignore-scripts option as nomnom is deprecated and causes the jsonpath module install to fail.

[root@laptop1 swagger-spec]# npm install --ignore-scripts -g generator-openapi-repo
npm WARN deprecated nomnom@1.5.2: Package no longer supported. Contact support@npmjs.com for more info.
+ generator-openapi-repo@1.0.1
added 647 packages in 105.491s

so now I should be able to generate the content, right?

[root@laptop1 ~]# yo openapi-repo
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/yo/node_modules/insight/node_modules/configstore/index.js:53
				throw err;
				^

wrong...

I don't know what permissions problem is supposed to be as I'm running the command as root and the file has open permissions for root and I can access the file

[root@laptop1 ~]# ll /root/.config/configstore/insight-yo.json
-rw------- 1 root root 30 May 29 17:26 /root/.config/configstore/insight-yo.json
[root@laptop1 ~]# ll /usr/local/lib/node_modules/yo/node_modules/insight/node_modules/configstore/index.js
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2666 Dec  9  2015 /usr/local/lib/node_modules/yo/node_modules/insight/node_modules/configstore/index.js
[root@laptop1 ~]# whoami
root
[root@laptop1 ~]# cat /root/.config/configstore/insight-yo.json
{

}

[stevegoossens]

gonna try repeating the commands as non-root user, node

yeah that was also a fail...
