Check if you have explorer or some folder open. Closing that folder/explorer solved my problem

I found it was because I had the folder open in my code editor. Closed it and ran the npm install command and it worked.

Alongside opening your command prompt window with administrator privileges, try killing the process adb.exe, which can be found by opening your Task Manager and navigating to the Details tab. This GitHub issue has a few other possible solutions you can try.

Please try following steps:

  1. check your antivirus status is enable or disable

  2. disable your antivirus during the installation.

I hope this helps. It worked for me.

Open cmd as administrator , this is permission error

Also try to see if the file is in use :

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer

https://helpcenter.gsx.com/hc/en-us/articles/115015880627-How-to-Identify-which-Windows-Process-is-Locking-a-File-or-Folder

Open Process Explorer Running as administrator. On the toolbar, find the gunsight icon on the right. Drag the icon and drop it on the open file or folder that is locked. The executable that is using the file will be highlighted in the Process Explorer main display list.
