Azure pipelines yaml permission denied

I'm getting an error when trying to deploy using azure pipelines.

Error: EACCES: permission denied, access '/usr/local/lib/node_modules'

I think its becuase the node_modules folder is not being shared between stages. But I cant figure out what is proper way to do it.

Here is my yaml file:

variables:
  - group: netlify

trigger:
- master

pool:
  vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest'

stages: 
  - stage: Build
    jobs:
      - job: ARM
        steps:
        - task: NodeTool@0
          inputs:
            versionSpec: '10.x'
          displayName: 'Install Node.js'

        - script: |
            npm install
            npm run unit
          displayName: 'Setup and test'

        - script: npm run build
        - publish: $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)
          artifact: dist
  - stage: Deploy
    dependsOn: Build
    condition: succeeded()
    jobs:
      - job: APP
        steps:
        - bash: |
           npm i -g netlify-cli
           netlify deploy --site $(NETLIFY_SITE_ID) --auth $(NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN) --prod

After running npm install, package node_modules should appear somehwere in the directory but it seems its not properly shared.

You are using Ubuntu image, and trying to global install netlify-cli in Linux without sudo.

If the Ubuntu is the necessary system you must use, you'd better add sudo before this command:

sudo npm i -g netlify-cli

Command succeed on my pipeline

In this doc, Upgrading on *nix (OSX, Linux, etc.):

You may need to prefix these commands with sudo, especially on Linux, or OS X if you installed Node using its default installer.

Same in VSTS, you must use sudo in the command to let you has password-less sudo rights for Ubuntu.

enter image description here

Another way is change the image to vs2017-win2016 if you do not has any special requirements for the build environment:

pool:
  vmImage: 'vs2017-win2016'

When using this image, you could install anything and do not need use sudo.

In fact, we has been pre-installed many basic tools in all hosted images, including node.js

In our github description, we listed all tools that pre-installed for all images. You can check to know more about VSTS.
