Nodemon: EACCES error on Mac for nodemon file

[ORESoftware]

I can run nodemon with sudo to avoid this problem

just want to see if it's something you haven't seen before

Error: EACCES, permission denied '/Users/amills001c/.config/configstore/update-notifier-nodemon.json'
You don't have access to this file.

This appears to be an npm problem when installing packages globally. You should check the fixing npm permissions section on their site.

thanks I will investigate appreciate the feedback

After going through option 2 on the fixing npm permissions section and reinstalling nodemon, I still receive this error. Is there any other way to deal with this?

[ORESoftware]

the way I have been dealing with it is to use nodemon with Gulp, via the
gulp-nodemon plugin

otherwise I am still having the issue as the person above

I was just able to get around the issue by changing the ownership on the file manually using the following

sudo chown youruseraccount:admin pathtocontainingfolder/.config/configstore/update-notifier-nodemon.json

It is an ownership problem. Try running the command with 'sudo'.
