Cannot log in to Firebase and the NPM installation gives out errors npm ERR! code ENOTSUP-CodePudding

The following errors are shown in NPM installation log,

npm ERR! code ENOTSUP
npm ERR! syscall open

I followed the documentation here and I encounter the following error when i try to execute,

source ~/.profile

/Users/username/.profile:1: permission denied: /usr/local/bin

I added the location /usr/local/bin into the ~/.bash_profile.

Still there is no luck. When I open the above .profile file on vi editor i see that its empty.

I am new to Firebase and NodeJS so excuse the beginner question.

CodePudding user response：

I encountered the same and managed to resolve this by using curl to install. https://firebase.google.com/docs/cli#install-cli-mac-linux
