cross-env: Permission denied

Error:

sh: 1: cross-env: Permission denied Ubuntu

Introduction:

This is because of permission issues with global installation of packages, which npm is being denied access. I got this error in ubuntu machine while running a command npm run prod

Error:

root@ip-172-31-20-213:/opt/lampp/htdocs/mhn-admin-ms# chmod -R a+x node_modules
root@ip-172-31-20-213:/opt/lampp/htdocs/mhn-admin-ms# npm run prod

Solution

Worked for me

chmod -R a+x node_modules

First

sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local

And cd /path/of/project

chmod -R a+x node_modules

npm run watch

If not work

npm rebuild

npm run watch

If not work

rm -Rf node_modules

npm install

npm run watch

It worked for me....

Then run npm run prod and check evrything will work fine.

Thanks

or you can just uninstall cross-env npm uninstall cross-env and install it again npm install cross-env. It worked for me.
