Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, mkdir 'C:\Program Files\Git\usr\local'

Everytime i try to run a npm command i get a wierd error. This happened after i ran npm config set prefix /usr/local whilst trying to install react and after that i wasnt able to run a single npm command without this error. If anyone has any idea of what this means or how to fix it please help ! thanks !

Try installing it globally first, using the command

npm install -g create-react-app

And then, you can create your app using the command,

npx create-react-app <Name of your app>

  1. Run cmd as administrator
  2. npm config set prefix/usr/local (changed the prefix)
  3. npm start in normal console

if you are getting an EPERM you may need to open up a command prompt and specify 'run as administrator', ' I'm admin on my PC and still need to do this from time to time with NPM scripts
