I'm trying to publish my NPM package: npm publish
.
I get the following quite cryptic error:
npm ERR! path c:\Temp\npm-20936-b98f84c8\tmp\fromDir-02dd5394\package.tgz npm ERR! code EPERM npm ERR! errno -4048 npm ERR! syscall unlink npm ERR!

Tried running as admin - same error.
NPM version: 5.4.0
Node version: 6.11.1
OS: Windows 10
Any leads?
If your npm is broken: On Mac or Linux, reinstall npm. Windows: If you're on Windows and you have a broken installation, the easiest thing to do is to reinstall node from the official installer (see this note about installing the latest stable version).
Method 1: Using npm update command to update the node package manager. Method 2: Using npm@latest command to update the node package manager. Method 3: Using PPA repository (only for Linux). Method 4: Using cache cleaning & stable installing (only for Linux).
Silly me. The answer was in the docs all along.
In order to publish you need to be logged in from your NPM cli.
So either do npm login
if you already have a user on npmjs.com, or npm adduser
to create one.
I would, however, appreciate a more informative error message.
I had the same problem on Windows.
The source of the problem is simple, it is access permission on folders and files. Click here
