NativeScript tns create fails - At POSTINSTALL Script

Question

I try to create a new project with the following command, the folders first get created and by the end gets deleted. The project is NOT created finally. I just see a package-lock.json at the end

I'm editing this post with a pattern I've recently been seeing. Just for a Change I tried doing TNS CREATE with VUE JS, it fails exactly in the POSTINSTALL JS script.

Any idea what I can do to get rid of this issue. This has been wasting my time for over 2 days now.

Here is the log

EDIT --- NEW LOG WITH Node Version 10 Eshcols-iMac:NativeScript eshcol$ sudo tns create

tns create

Answer 1

To fix project creation in general you can try sudo chown -R username /home/username/.npm This should allow you to run tns create MyApp without adding sudo.
