Aborting installation.
This is because I am not root.
It is essential that I can complete this action as the non root user.
After 20 minutes of googling I am yet to find my solution.
I am using Ubuntu 20.
Please assist me.
Many thanks, :-)

PS: I have already chowned the user's .npm file to this user.
