Executing Karma giving permission denied error

I installed karma locally using

npm install karma --save-dev

and then i tried

$ ./node_modules/karma/bin/karma start

Then i get this error

vagrant@development:$ ./node_modules/karma/bin/karma start
-bash: ./node_modules/karma/bin/karma: Permission denied
vagrant@development:$ ls -liah ./node_modules/karma/bin/
total 4.0K
54696 drwxrwxr-x 1 vagrant www-data 102 Nov 17 19:24 .
54688 drwxrwxr-x 1 vagrant www-data 544 Nov 17 15:57 ..
54697 -rw-rw-r-- 1 vagrant www-data  50 Nov 15 02:43 karma

What can be the reason

http://karma-runner.github.io/0.12/intro/installation.html

vagrant@development:$ sudo chmod +x ./node_modules/karma/bin/karma
vagrant@development:$ ls -liah ./node_modules/karma/bin/
total 4.0K
54696 drwxrwxr-x 1 vagrant www-data 102 Nov 17 19:24 .

54697 -rw-rw-r-- 1 vagrant www-data  50 Nov 15 02:43 karma

Your ./node_modules/karma/bin/karma executable does not have execution privileges for your user. You can chmod it to give you the right privileges with:

$ chmod +x ./node_modules/karma/bin/karma

To avoid this in the future, simply install it with npm install -g karma-cli (globally).
