Day075 — Avoid “Error: EACCES: permission denied”

When I want to install a package globally, Error: EACCES: permission denied occurs.

If you see an EACCES error when you try to install a package globally, you can either:

Reinstall npm with a node version manager (recommended),
or
Manually change npm’s default directory

Therefore, I reinstall npm with a node version manager.

To uninstall installed nodejs:

1. go to /usr/local/lib and delete any node and node_modules
2. go to /usr/local/include and delete any node and node_modules directory

How do I completely uninstall Node.js, and reinstall from beginning (Mac OS X)
