Angular-cli: Error code 1 when installing Angular CLI

Created on 24 Mar 2016  ·  38Comments  ·  Source: angular/angular-cli

This is a bug report.

When trying to install Angular CLI, I'm getting the errors listed below.

This did not happen about 3 weeks ago when I first installed it, but it does now.

OS

OSX El Capitan

Versions

Node v5.2.0
NPM 3.3.12

How I found the error

I simply ran npm i -g --save angular-cli. There were errors about lodash being expired (because a half billion modules use an outdated lodash.) and a reference to padleft that you can see at the top of the log below. For all I know that version of lodash used the leftpad module that caused all the ruckus recently. That's just a guess, but it's breaking the build.

I'm having a similar issue which looks to be occurring around the same point "[email protected] postinstall".

Thats interesting, I don't have that issue on similar versions than you. Can you just try to re-run install again or if it's possible provide more info about reproducing this. Thanks.

Hm... I tried it myself and had some trouble. Then I did npm cache clean and it seemed to be ok. Can I ask you to try doing that as well?

filipesilva picture filipesilva on 25 Mar 2016

@filipesilva tried after cleaning cache but no success.

pinalbhatt picture pinalbhatt on 25 Mar 2016

@filipesilva Cleaning cache didn't help here either. While trying to debug I also noticed that if I simply run "npm install -g [email protected]" I received the same error which seems to point at broccoli as the issue.

scatcher picture scatcher on 25 Mar 2016

Huh.... really odd. I wonder how I could get a working version of brocolli but not not you guys....

filipesilva picture filipesilva on 25 Mar 2016

haha... thats what is alfa release.... since last couple of days i am trying to make angular-cli and angularfire2 work. But finally decided to configure angularfire2 manually.

@filipesilva running npm cache clean fixed the problem. It installed 0.0.27 without any trouble. Perhaps broccoli has updated whatever was causing the bug.

cwramsey picture cwramsey on 25 Mar 2016

Running npm cache clean didn't resolve for me but fixing npm permissions per recommendation from @anode7 did resolve the problem.

scatcher picture scatcher on 25 Mar 2016

@scatcher Now you can download a package globally without using sudo and (EACCESS) error free

anode7 picture anode7 on 25 Mar 2016

@anode7 good catch! I should have remembered that OSX sometimes has those sudo issues.

Is anyone still having issues with install?

filipesilva picture filipesilva on 25 Mar 2016

@filipesilva also on Ubuntu (the path prefix to npm's directory is just /usr)

After this fix , be sure not to use "sudo" to install a -g package , also for an update of npm :
npm install npm -g

anode7 picture anode7 on 25 Mar 2016

Good tips!

I'm closing the issue but if someone has the same problem again, I'll reopen.

oYo-fr picture oYo-fr on 5 Apr 2016

Hey @oYo-fr, I think https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/345#issuecomment-201276673 is spot on. Your issue looks like a permissions issue.

Basically what happens both on OSX and Linux is that once you install any global or local npm package with sudo, you have to install them all.

But in the case of broccolli, it is using multidep to install some extra packages himself - and without sudo.

So the advice for these issues is roughly the same... you need to either change permissions, or remove all the global/relevant local node_modules and reinstall packages without sudo.

filipesilva picture filipesilva on 6 Apr 2016

Thx for the help...

I've tried the folowwing with Kitematik on Windows (Docker):

  • created a new docker container based on official "node" (so I guess, it's a fresh install),
  • ran this command right away : npm install -g angular-cli

it failed due to permissions (EACCES) on broccoli :-(

I also tried changing de permissions on a brand new container using these commands :
chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/lib/node_modules
chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/bin
chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/share
chown -R $(whoami) /root

...with no luck...

I have no other packages installed (at least I guess), as I am starting from scratch with a new docker each time...

Last byt not list : my npm versions are these :

npm -v

3.8.3

node -v

v5.10.0

oYo-fr picture oYo-fr on 6 Apr 2016

@oYo-fr from you error log: Please try running this command again as root/Administrator. Did you try that?

Otherwise try fixing npm permissions before installing angular-cli as they suggest here.

jkuri picture jkuri on 6 Apr 2016

I tried as root (see a few commands above). But Anode7 said I should run that as root... Anyway I tried with and without root, always with no success.
I also tried to change the folders permissions (see my previous comment):
chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/lib/node_modules
chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/bin
chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/share
chown -R $(whoami) /root

without any luck either...

oYo-fr picture oYo-fr on 6 Apr 2016

What was the exit status of changing the permissions? Almost sure that chown -R $(whoami) /root won't work just like that, also not sure about previous chowns. Please follow the npm instructions about changing permissions.
You definitely have permissions issue and it is not related to angular-cli.

jkuri picture jkuri on 6 Apr 2016

jkuri, thx for your answer.

I guess all of you are right about the permissions issue. I just don't have any idea about how to fix that easily, and this issue is probably more "broccoli-related" thant "angular-cli" related... but I have tried so many things without any success...

The thing is that even with the explanations given in the tutorial, I'm not able to install that thing as easily as the other npm packages...
Probably someone (who?) should try to reproduce that problem. It's really easy : docker + official node image + "npm install -g angular-cli"...
I'm quite sad because I wanted so badly to try angular 2 + material 2, but I'm stuck right at the beginning... I probably should wait for all of this to be released for good... Without any clear instructions, I suppose I won't be able (or have the time) to find out how to do that :(
Sadly, I think I'll try some other technologies for now, and come back and try again in a few weeks

oYo-fr picture oYo-fr on 6 Apr 2016

Not really sure why do you need docker to try angular-cli + material2.

jkuri picture jkuri on 6 Apr 2016

because I just want to understand what I do... If I do all of these commands on my computer every time, maybe one day it will work, but I'll not know why. How could I know that the last command I tried worked on it's own, or because I tried something else one week ago ?
At least with docker, I have a clean fresh install each time to run my tests...

oYo-fr picture oYo-fr on 6 Apr 2016

Hm... regarding the chown, I noticed the error is in non of those directories...

npm ERR! Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/root/.npm/broccoli-plugin/1.0.0/package'

Can you maybe try chown recursively on /root/.npm/?

filipesilva picture filipesilva on 6 Apr 2016

Are you are sure not to throw your docker container in ROOT ?
Did you add a user to your docker container ?
this user has permissions on the npm directory ? (option2)

anode7 picture anode7 on 6 Apr 2016

@anode7 advice is really good. Check out his recommendation

I found the solution on the official website (EACCES error):
https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions

choopage picture choopage on 10 Apr 2016

Guys, I uninstalled angular-cli as I had originally installed it globally with sudo.
Then, I made sure that the owner permissions were reset correctly so that I did have root access.
Then I reinstalled angular-cli without sudo (i.e. npm install -g angular-cli), installation went fine.

Then I try to initiate a new project again (ng new projectName) and I get the same error again.

This is the error:

Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/Users/username/.config/configstore/ember-cli.json'
You don't have access to this file.

What's going on?
How do I resolve this?
Haven't even reached the point of running 'ng serve' yet....

Also, brew and node and npm were updated.

@n1alloc that file must be a remnant for the old instalation (angular-cli is based on ember-cli). You can delete it.

Also it could be an incompatible package for that operating system installed in the node_modules folder.
I wanted to run a ng build command on a Linux x64 machine that had the node_modules folder originally uploaded on git from a windows x64 machine.
Obviously didn't work. Solution was to remove the node_modules from repository and then re-run the build which obviously now downloaded the correct node_modules.
