nodemon package is not install in nodejs [duplicate]

Question

nodemon package does not successfully install using nodejs. I used npm install -g nodmon. I received the permissions-related error below.

Try to install it with sudo. It it because you need admin permissions.

sudo npm install -g nodemon

Hope it helps!
