Error message setting up Browser Stack with cypress: Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/browserstack-cypress-cli'

I am trying to install browserStac using he following command:

npm install -g browserstack-cypress-cli

I Got the following error message:

npm ERR! code EACCES
npm ERR! syscall mkdir
npm ERR! path /usr/local/lib/node_modules/browserstack-cypress-cli
npm ERR! errno -13
npm ERR! Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/browserstack-cypress-cli'

I'm honestly very confused right because this should this framework is new and I've attempted to install cypress before.

What is wrong exactly and and how do I fix it.

Seems like a permission issue. You should be using:

sudo npm install -g browserstack-cypress-cli
