Environment info

I am using Bash on Ubuntu on Windows

node -v
v15.12.0

npm -v
7.6.3

Steps to reproduce

I did everything as root user:

First I tried
npm install -g @vue/cli

But this returned an error
npm WARN deprecated urix@0.1.0: Please see https://github.com/lydell/urix#deprecated
npm WARN deprecated har-validator@5.1.5: this library is no longer supported
npm WARN deprecated resolve-url@0.2.1: https://github.com/lydell/resolve-url#deprecated

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /root/.npm/_logs/2021-03-20T13_34_56_981Z-debug.log

Than I tried npm install -g --unsafe-perm @vue/cli but this also gave me the same error

After that I tried this but that didn't worked also.
npm config set user 0
npm config set unsafe-perm true

At least I tried
npm install vue
npm cache clean --force
npm install -g @vue/cli

But this also returned the same error.

What is expected?

Install Vue CLI

What is actually happening?

Getting an error.

Hi,
It looks like your NPM global bin directory is under some user permission privileges (root/sudo).
NPM global dir path: npm list -g | head -1

Try using sudo:

sudo npm install -g @vue/cli

@Mosharush

npm list -g | head -1
/root/.nvm/versions/node/v15.12.0/lib

sudo npm install -g @vue/cli
sudo: npm: command not found

I changed my rights with chmod 777 to drwxrwxrwx for the folder

Ensure you have an env var PATH define to your NODE_PATH on the root user.
For no need, a SUDO privilege just makes sure your NPM_PATH is under your home user dir.

I used the following commands to firstly update the version of npm I was using, uninstalling older versions of vue cli and re-installing the latest vue cli.

npm install -g npm
npm uninstall vue-cli -g
npm i -g @vue/cli

These steps seemed to work for me. Hope its helpful to others with this issue 🤘
