Will the following solution in the above issue fix?

 $ cd /usr/bin
 $ ln -s nodejs node

Hi,

I just bumped into the same issue today with the latest docker image of nodejs. This issue can be reproduced by the following command:

# docker run -t --rm node:latest npm install -g hexo-util

It seems that the postinstall script is reading /root/.npm/_logs with a uid other than root, and here is a (dirty & insecure) workaround:

# chmod 755 /root && mkdir -m 755 -p /root/.npm/_logs
# npm install -g hexo-cli
# chmod 700 /root

CAUTION: THIS WOULD CHANGE PERMISSION OF /root! Use docker container if you want to give it a try.

same problem on my manjaro linux.

[id77]

workaround：

root@xxxxxxxxxx:~# npm config set user 0
root@xxxxxxxxxx:~# npm config set unsafe-perm true
root@xxxxxxxxxx:~# npm install -g hexo

[jat001]

@Escapingbug you can try this aur https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nodejs-hexo-cli/

[kumashiro]

Safer workaround (I'm not sure about docker image):

1. chown -R the node_modules directory to a user other than root,
2. run npm install -g hexo-cli as that user,
3. chown -R the node_modules directory back to root,
4. open new beer bottle.

@Escapingbug anoter workround——ArchLinux (and other distros base on arch ,eg.manjaro) also can install 'hexo-cli' from aur:yaourt -S nodejs-hexo-cli.
