I need to install grunt for a project setup in Windows 7. However, I am running into an issue that whenever I try to install grunt globally, it fails because of a permission error.
A few other people had this problem and a few others do not, the error that comes up is
EPERM: operation not permitted, rename (insert npm global module path here)\grunt\node_modules\grunt-legacy-log-utils' -> '(insert npm global module path here)\grunt\node_modules\.grunt-legacy-log-utils.DELETE'Asking for admin permissions to install software is not allowed where I am at.
Answer
Turns out the error was resolved by repeatedly doing npm cache clean and npm install.
Also we also had an issue with node-sass because it couldn’t reach github to download a binary.
