Insight-bower.yml does not exist

I’m currently in the process of installing Sage and I’m up to this step https://roots.io/sage/docs/theme-development/.

I’m up to the step ‘Run bower install’. When I run the ‘bower install’ command I get this error:

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/bower/node_modules/insight/node_modules/configstore/configstore.js:66
				throw err;
				      ^
    Error: EACCES, permission denied '/Users/studio07/.config/configstore/insight-bower.yml'
    You don't have access to this file.

When I try navigating to insight-bower.yml it doesn’t exist!

Anyone have any insight to this issue?

Never seen that one before. How do you have NPM installed?

Also https://discourse.roots.io/t/npm-debugging-guidelines-failed-npm-install-bower-install-or-gulp-build-read-this

I have NPM installed at the global level, version 2.5.1. Also I ran npm cache clear && rm -rf node_modules && npm install from that link you posted and the project level NPM installation worked fine.

possibly related: insight-bower.yml gets root privileges if you run as root the first time · Issue #1223 · bower/bower · GitHub

Yup already read this, I ran the chown command and I still got the exact same error :frowning:

Right now I’m just going to uninstall everything at the node/npm level and start again :open_mouth:

definitely recommend you use nvm GitHub - nvm-sh/nvm: Node Version Manager - POSIX-compliant bash script to manage multiple active node.js versions

Haha yeah I had this installed as well. Will start again with this. Cheers!
