I can't use npm run dev|prod|watch on my staging linux server. It produces this :

 npm run production

glob error [Error: EACCES: permission denied, scandir '/root/.npm/_logs'] {
  errno: -13,
  code: 'EACCES',
  syscall: 'scandir',
  path: '/root/.npm/_logs'
}

> production
> mix --production

/var/www/html/preprodCerf2021/node_modules/laravel-mix/bin/cli.js:2
basedir=$(dirname "$(echo "$0" | sed -e 's,\\,/,g')")
          ^^^^^^^

nodeJs is up to date v 16.8.0 and npm v 7.21.0 my the compilation works perfectly on my windows dev machine.

This is the files ownership :

I've faced similar issues where I was trying to run npm as root user but the file ownership was with different users. You can try one of the following ways:

1. Try running npm with the www-data user
2. Change ownership of the files to a sudoable user

   # login as a user that has sudo access and change file ownership
   sudo chown -R myuser:myuser /path/to/project/
   
   # run npm commands as myuser
   npm install && npm run production
   
   # change the permissions to previous state
   sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /path/to/project/
   

3. Change ownership of the files to the root user (this hasn't worked for me so far but may work for you)

   # enter sudo mode and change ownership to root
   sudo su
   chown -R root:root /path/to/project/
   
   # run npm commands as root user
   npm install && npm run production
   
   # change the permissions to previous state
   chown -R www-data:www-data /path/to/project/
   
   # exit sudo mode
   exit

In the end I tried this succesfully, npm is very mysterious

rm node_modules -rf && npm install
