Run this command in the terminal:

sudo chown -R 501:20 "/Users/johnsmith/.npm"

Replace johnsmith and also replace 501:20 with your actual user and group IDs if they are different.

Then close the terminal and reopen the terminal.

Then run npm i {package name}.

It should work correctly.

install the npm package locally for your user, and if you have to install it globally, use sudo. e.g:

sudo npm install package -g
