I recently started working with 'npm' and while installing 'nodemon' using command -
npm i -g nodemon
but it is showing ERR!

I tried using sudo to install nodemon, clearing cache using npm cache clear even with --force but no help, also tried what terminal was showing me could be the erroe but turned out nothing helpful.
Be careful with this stuff!!
Don't arbitrarily run sudo commands. Some answers online will tell you to run chmod or chown in your /usr directory. This is not a good solution and may potentially break your whole system!
The problem is that npm is trying to install global packages in your /usr folder, but your user doesn't have access to this folder. What you need to do is tell npm to install global packages in a folder which you do have access to.
Create a directory for global npm packages:
mkdir "${HOME}/.npm-packages"
Tell npm where to store globally installed packagesL
npm config set prefix "${HOME}/.npm-packages"
Ensure npm will find the location by adding it to your system's PATH variable. This can be done by editing .bashrc or .zshrc in your home directory and adding the following code to the bottom of the file.
NPM_PACKAGES="${HOME}/.npm-packages"
export PATH="$PATH:$NPM_PACKAGES/bin"
# Preserve MANPATH if you already defined it somewhere in your config.
# Otherwise, fall back to `manpath` so we can inherit from `/etc/manpath`.
export MANPATH="${MANPATH-$(manpath)}:$NPM_PACKAGES/share/man"
Close and re-open your terminal.

Aborting installation.
This is because I am not root.
It is essential that I can complete this action as the non root user.
After 20 minutes of googling I am yet to find my solution.
I am using Ubuntu 20.
Please assist me.
Many thanks, :-)

PS: I have already chowned the user's .npm file to this user.
As per one of the answers, I updated the users .bashrc file:
Click to view my user's .bashrc file
Sadly the issue is not resolved!
You can do this operation in one of your system drivers
You can add this inside your .bashrc, and log off and log in

So I'm logged in as administrator of my MacBook and want to run a npm command in my Django project. However, It refuses due to missing permissions.

Also it seems that I can't change permissions of a folder, I can unlock the lock on the bottom right but then once I try to change permission for "wheel" e.g. it refuses as well.
You are having a system permission issue. An easy way to avoid it is to use the sudo command:
sudo npm install -g sass
Otherwise you can visit Resolving EACCES permissions errors when installing packages globally from npm's official doc. There is a guide, and the solution is to either reinstall npm with a node version manager or manually change its default directory.
I am trying to install json-server but failed repeatedly and it makes me hopeless. Now need help to makes the solution. Below the command which I have used on the Ubunto-20.04 Operating System.
Installed Nodejs version: v14.16.0
Installed NPM version: 6.14.10
And Although firstly, I used the latest version of nodejs which was 15x but I also faced an error to install json-server and below's command used to install json-server
npm install json-server -g
npm install -g json-server
npm i json-server
I have used all of the above command to install json-server but in every moments I faced error and that's given below,
Here is error

Note: The error also added in the attached file and Advanced thanks for your helps.
You could try with sudo like "sudo npm install -g json-server" or give write permission with "chmod -r 777 /usr/local/lib/node_modules". I think that sudo option is better for instant permisson.
You're running the command with the right permissions, you should chmod the node_modules and run the command again with sudo.
In the Visual Studio Code terminal I issue to following command:
npm install -g nodemon
The result in terminal is:

How can I solve it?
Use sudo before installing, it will ask for credentials enter it and done
sudo npm i - g nodemon
This means that you do not have root privileges / are not a superuser. You have two ways to solve this.
Use sudo before the command - this will usually then ask for credentials and run the command without a problem (hopefully)
Run sudo -s to automatically run commands with sudo every time in the current terminal window (will deactivate once the terminal has been closed)
Run sudo su which will make the computer think that the current terminal window has been opened by a root user (again will deactivate once current window has been closed)

I tried setting the permissions like this : sudo chown -R yourusername ~/.npm but it didn't work. How can I fix this? I can run npm with sudo but if I do, later im running into permission problems like when using grunt.
I had manies an issue with this too.
Changing the ownership of ~/.npm isnt enough because you are also getting access issues in /usr/lib/node_modules/ folders. You can change permissions here too if you like but changing permissions on folders is not recommended. If you were to change permissions on these folders too only do it on the folder you need ie the node_modules folder. Or you could go a different, more preffered, route -
Originally I went in and changed permissions of folders and all of that jazz but when I upgraded my system I used NVM.
From the ember-cli page, the link below leads to a tutorial about how to use npm and nodejs without using sudo by using node version manager:
http://www.wenincode.com/installing-node-jsnpm-without-sudo/
Once you have installed nvm as the tutorial above or as the github page tells you then whenever you log into a new shell you just use the command:
nvm use 0.10
where 0.10 is the version of nodejs you want to use.
