pip/pipx tmp directory issues

[8itlew7r]

I remember this is also a problem when I'm trying to install some modules using pip. Being root solves the problem, but also creates other problems.

Clear the npm cache:

npm cache clean --force

Delete the node_modules folder and package-lock.json file:

rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json

Reinstall the dependencies:

npm install

Ensure you are using the latest version of npm:

npm install -g npm@latest

The matter or topic being tracked and discussed through this issue thread has been satisfactorily resolved or addressed, so the issue can now be marked as completed and archived.

The issue with NPM (Node Package Manager) and pip/pipx (Python package managers) appears to be unrelated since they utilize different temporary directories during package installation. While the NPM problem has been resolved, pipx continues to encounter a permission denied error, despite the account having full access to the /tmp directory.
