thx.

resolved，parameter passing the wrong way

[zafree]

@fanjunzhi How did you resolve this issue? Can you explain a bit?

[varundey]

@zafree Probably too late but putting this here anyway for future references. Based on npm docs unsafe-perm defaults to true if running in non-root mode and false otherwise. This command basically controls the switch between root and user for running npm scripts. If set to false, running the script in non-root mode will fail. So it is very much probable that you are running the script as a root user. As an alternative to make it work you can do one of the following

1. Ensure that the scripts are running as the same user
2. Do npm install -g instead of npm install
3. Do npm config set unsafe-perm true which will override the default unsafe-perm config
