yarn install: EACCES: permission denied, unlink yarn integrity

Question

yarn install throws:

EACCES: permission denied, unlink '/home/minnak/Darbas/market/node_modules/.yarn-integrity'

Might be related to this issue

I tried checking for permissions:

ls -la /home/minnak/Darbas/market/node_modules/.yarn*

Output: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 490276 kov. 13 15:10 /home/minnak/Darbas/market/node_modules/.yarn-integrity

and then:

sudo chown -R minnak /home/minnak/.config/yarn/

Then launch yarn install again and get the same error.

Answer 1

Try running sudo rm -rf /home/minnak/Darbas/market/node_modules/ and then yarn without elevated permissions.

Answer 2

It's likely a unix permission related problem. There is a solution posted on the dev's github page. Try to run the following command

sudo chown -R $USER:$GROUP ~/.npm
sudo chown -R $USER:$GROUP ~/.config
