Similar issue here. After a fresh install in a new virtual machine I got the following error while installing the npm prisma package:
` npm install -g prisma
/usr/bin/prisma -> /usr/lib/node_modules/prisma/dist/index.js

[email protected] postinstall /usr/lib/node_modules/prisma
prisma init-prisma || echo ""

My environment:

• Debian 9
• NodeJS 9
• Run as root (even made the cache directory 777)

Any hints?

[shbert]

Found a workaround. While running as root set:
npm config set unsafe-perm true
See https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/2425

[danishnazir]

npm config set unsafe-perm true
run this using sudo
