To avoid all these kinds of problems on Linux, the best solution that I've found is to use Node Version Manager.

You can install it using:

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.34.0/install.sh | bash

Logout and log back in again for the path updates to take effect.

After this, see what Node versions are available:

nvm list-remote

Pick a version and install it, for example:

nvm install v12.3.1

nvm will automatically use this version (or whatever other version you selected).

You can install other versions as required and switch between versions using (for example):

nvm use v12.3.0

The advantages of doing things this way are at least the following:

  • No more access control issues
  • You can swap between Node versions as you please

Here's a repo link for further information: https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm

npm does not have the necessary permissions to install nativescript:

EACCES: permission denied, ...

From the nativescript installation notes:

If you’re on macOS and receive an EACCES error, you either need to rerun the previous command with sudo — that is, sudo npm install -g nativescript — or take a moment to fix your npm permissions so that you don’t need admin rights to globally install npm packages.
