Cant run npm script, it shown "Error: spawn node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js EACCES"

I am trying to run my project on Linux Mint that I just installed and configured but when I run the npm run dev command. "spawn node_modules / webpack / bin / webpack.js EACCES" error appears.

I have tried all the methods provided on the internet such as reinstalling nodes, upgrading versions, clear cache nodes and deleting folders. but still error.

> node node_modules/cross-env/dist/bin/cross-env.js NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js

      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

"maybe this problem has to do with permission, but I'm just learning linux and don't really understand it."

Run into same issue recently with some old project based on Laravel Mix.

Error suggests, that there can be issue with execution rights.

Running this command was solution for me:

chmod -R +x node_modules

Make sure that you do not have NODE_ENV=production set in your terminal, as it will cause npm install to skip devDependencies including webpack. You can fix this by clearing the NODE_ENV value (unset NODE_ENV) and then running npm install again

Error: spawn node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js EACCES indicates that this same file has no execution rights. I had the same error, and when I added the execution rights it worked.

rm -rf node_modules
rm package-lock.json yarn.lock
npm cache clear --force
npm install

I just followed above steps and it worked.

I faced the same problem today. Here is my solution

Check your permissions if the node_modules folder is executable by running ls -la (760 is recomended). If thing seems to be okay then try deleting the node_modules folder and install all the modules again by running npm install then run the command npm run development or production depending on your deployment environment
