[ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.github.eirslett:frontend-maven-plugin:1.0:npm (npm install) on project ui: Failed to run task: 'npm install' failed. (error code 1)

[RamonCT]

Dear all,
I have tried to build thingsboard from sources and I have obtained the above error with the release-2.4 and 2.4.1.

The configuration is:

• On premise: Ubuntu 16.04
• Java: openjdk version "1.8.0_212"
• Maven: Apache Maven 3.3.9

After cloning the repo, I have used the following command to build the sources:
$ sudo mvn clean install -DskipTests

The console output is:

I have seen closed issue #1335 is similar for release-2.2. For this reason, I tried:

first, npm install -g
npm install -g pkg
then try the (directory thingsboard)sudo -s mvn clean install -DskipTests
Use the following commands if you fail inside the thingsboard/ui directory:
npm install -g
npm install -g pkg
then try the (directory thingsboard) sudo -s mvn clean install -DskipTests

However, npm install is giving permission denied. Could you help me?

Thank you in advance,
R.
