npm can not publish my module

I am trying to publish my module to see how it works.

I installed npm and then created my very simple module.

I used npm add user to add myself as a new user. I received the following message: Logged in as david1994 on https://registry.npmjs.org/

Then I tried to publish my module with npm publish, but I got the following error:

npm ERR! code: 'EPERM',
npm ERR! syscall: 'open',
npm ERR! path: 'C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node_modules\\npm\\node_modules\\supermodule\\npm-debug.log.1866747129' }

But I can not see any npm-debug.log in my module directory.

Possible it looks like a module with that name was already published by someone else, so you'd need to use a different name, or use a scope if you really want to keep the same name.

could you check that the name is not already taken by someone else, as well?

The EPERM error indicates that there is a problem opening a file as the npm publish command does not seem to have permission to access to that file.

The name of the file giving you the problem should be found in the report file ... 

debug.log.1866747129

in the following directory ...

C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\node_modules\supermodule\

If for some reason you cannot access the above file run the publish step again using --dd flag which will increase the amount of logging that you see on the screen should help you troubleshoot your problem

See npm config for a full list of command line parameters that can help you troubleshoot this problem.
