I am a newbie in all this stuff. Hope for your understanding.
Let me clarify the issue:
I am trying to start react native app through expo cli. So tried to start npm install expo-cli --global
to install npm globally. I got these errors:
It also says that I lack permissions to access it. How can I allow permissions? Even when I try to start it locally I got the same issue. Your help is appreciated.

I was trying to install expo-cli with my company npm registry configured. I've created 2 differents profiles using npmrc and using the profile with https://registry.npmjs.org/ solved the issue.

First: I upgraded my mac version 10.13 to 10.15
Then I downloaded homebrew, Watchman, Git and Node.js
Finally I ran this command sudo npm install --global expo-cli --legacy-peer-deps
If you have any further questions check the docs out: https://docs.expo.dev/get-started/installation/

If anyone else has this problem here is my fix, go to Finder, in the input field (search box) type in /usr/local/lib then press CMD + SHIFT + G press the OK button or whatever pops up, then CMD + SHIFT + . and delete the NVM file i deleted the expo folder too. Then go to this link https://changelog.com/posts/install-node-js-with-homebrew-on-os-x follow the instructions and install brew, node, etc. Last step go to your terminal and type sudo npm install expo-cli --global

I had previously removed Expo from my Windows machine and encountered this error whilst trying to reinstall. Reading the error message solved the problem.
npm i expo-cli -g --legacy-peer-deps
Using this command in 'PowerShell' installed expo successfully.

I had this problem in Windows 10, to be able to install the latest version (I had no choice since it broke the current one). I had to install the latest version of Python (3.8.0) and then run npm install --global --production windows-build-tools
as an administrator, then I was able to run again: npm install expo-cli --global
to install the version 3.8.0 of the expo-cli

For windows Follow these steps carefully
command prompt
and run it as administrator
. npm uninstall --global expo-cli
. npm cache clean --force
.npm cache verify
.npm install --global expo-cli
npm i -g expo-cli
or npm install -g expo-cli
.7.Make sure you run the command mentioned in the 4th step ONLY.
thankyou.

although this solution is not the best and the safest solution exists, this worked for me and that make sense because all the problem we had with the errors is the permission problems. so you can use this command and ignore those permission problems :
sudo npm install expo-cli -g --unsafe-perm

For Windows User :-
Open your Powershell and type:
npm install expo-cli --global
This worked for me after trying and reasearching for hours.
Note:Don't Use cmd or any other terminal and also don't type npm install expo-cli -g as it is written in the react native docs. It would always show up an npm error.

As a Debian 10 buster user I got the same permission error while using this command: sudo npm install expo-cli --global
.
The problem was solved by installing expo-cli with yarn package manager and the command below: sudo yarn global add expo-cli
.

try going into windows resource monitor and terminating adb.exe (android resource bridge). This worked for me after searching for solutions for days. I tried this after verifying cache, clearing cache, you name it.

In my case, I deleted two files then everything worked. The two files are in this path: C:\Users\{Username}\AppData\Roaming\npm
under the names 'expo.ps1' and 'expo-cli.ps1'
Then run:
npm i -g expo-cli

You did not mention which os. This answer working for any operating system (ubuntu in my case)
I'm also getting permission errors when running
sudo npm install --global expo-cli
Which I don't really how this can happen - as this also happens for the superuser!
For me it works when I install the client locally into the project
cd <new-project-dir>
npm init # init npm project
npm install expo-cli
Now you can use the client in this project like this:
npx expo-cli # e.g. npx expo-cli init <project-name>

I guess, this issue comes from permission or node version , if you get this error when the node module is being refreshed ---> This is definitely a permission issue. Disable your Antiviruses or change permission manually check this as well.

You need administrator privilege. So when you open command line interface, just right click and run as administrator
This will solve the problem

I was having the same problem with npm install -g expo-cli, having "MODULE_NOT_FOUND",
I installed yarm with brew, just in case you do not already have it:
brew install yarn
and then use:
yarn global add expo-cli
to create a project you can:
expo init nameOfTheNewProject
and choose a template in the console. Finally run the project with
yarn start
Let me know if it works for you!
