The same error is encountered when doing:

• npm install @vue/cli
• npm install yorkie

I know that there is a similar issue posted at #3056 ("Yorkie installation fails which causes Vue CLI to fail") but that was closed without any comments or solution, so I posted a new one here as indicated at https://new-issue.vuejs.org/?repo=vuejs/vue-cli ("open a new issue using the form below instead of commenting on the old issue").

Have you tried installing vue-cli globally as described here:

npm install -g @vue/cli
# OR
yarn global add @vue/cli

[ginomempin]

@caugner

I got the same error when I installed @vue/cli and @vue/cli-service globally.

[ginomempin]

I did some more testing:

I got it to install successfully when I downgraded my env's node version to v8.4.0.
(It's the base node package that comes with the OS.)
But Vue CLI will not run on this lower version:

You are using Node v8.4.0, but this version of vue-cli requires Node >=8.9.
Please upgrade your Node version.

This is mentioned in the Vue Installation docs, where it says "Vue CLI requires Node.js version 8.9 or above (8.11.0+ recommended).". But if I upgrade node, I'll get the same installation errors as I previously reported.

I'm not familiar with what's inside Vue CLI or with yorkie, but it seems I'm unable to use it on this env.

What about npm install @vue/cli-service --unsafe-perm?

[haoqunjiang]

For security reasons, if you run npm install as root, npm will set the user to "nobody" when running postinstall scripts, which does not have access to the project directory, thus the error message.

[ginomempin]

Thanks for the tip @sodatea.
It looks like I got it to install successfully now.

1. I started off with the base node version v8.4.0.
2. I then updated to the ARMv8 version of node v10.15.1
   • from https://nodejs.org/en/download/, get node-v10.15.1-linux-arm64.tar.xz
3. npm install @vue/cli --unsafe-perm (also works with -g)
4. npm install @vue/cli-service --unsafe-perm (also works with -g)

Solved issue by using latest node image for container FROM node:latest

[Cebape]

This error (Yorkie@2.0.0) is related to the security attributes of the project-vuejs folder. So, create your projects outside the root / folder, make Linux updates (Ubuntu ...) and success to everyone!

@Cebape

So, create your projects outside the root / folder, make Linux updates (Ubuntu ...)

Can you clarify what you mean by "outside the root / folder"?
This is Linux, everything is under /.
