I trying to json-server by npm install -g json-server, but everytime I get an error

Image of the error This is the error that I am continuously getting after numerous tries. I tried removing node cache, I re-installed node.js but couldn't find success. However, whenever I am running it with administrator or root, I am able to install it. So why is this happening?

I have provided the screenshot of my error, however, still, I will provide the error in writing.

Try running this command: npm config set unsafe-perm=true

If that doesn't work for you, try changing the folder permissions for your current user for C:\Program Files\nodejs with the help of this
