sh: 1: node-gyp-build: Permission denied and npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE npm ERR! errno 126

Tried to run this on Ubuntu 18.04 x64. It used to work properly a day ago but it stopped out of nowhere.

npm i simple-youtube-api

I used to be able to install them but not anyone, im getting this:

> node-gyp-build

In my case, I solved the problem with permissions using latest version of npm:

npm i -g npm@latest

NPM is careful when installing packages as root.

Installing global packages as root or sudo can potentially damage your operating system, as it may accidentally replace files critical to the operating system itself.

However if you still want to proceed, you know what you are doing and you are e.g. using a virtual machine, you can do.

npm install --unsafe-perm -g simple-youtube-api

See unsafe-perm documentation.

Just try to run the command under a user other than root.
