@TobiMadeIt Pretty sure it's not the issue of this package. On searching, one can see multiple instances of reporting this issue. This issue might also depend on the way node was installed (as mentioned in some reported Github issues). Could you please try solution mention here?

I just tried that with no luck. I'm still getting the exact same error. I did some prior research as well. Multiple cases pointed to the package attempting to reference node legacy(node) instead of nodejs. Could that apply to this case?

from football-cli.

@TobiMadeIt Try it out. You might also want to give this a try.

from football-cli.

I'm a bit wary of

sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local

There doesn't seem to be a straight forward way of reverting the changes and there's a lot of talk warning against leaving things that way security wise.

I did try this though,

sudo chown -R $USER ~/.npm

but that didn't help

@TobiMadeIt Apologies for the delay in replying. Is this still relevant? Were you able to fix it?
