You do not have permissions

[anonymous89002]

How do I update the files permission? When I try installing yarn it gives me an error that I do not have the permissions for the file. I am on Macos, newest version, does anyone know hoe to fix this ?? I have tried changing the permissions already , but when I do it tells me I do not have the necessary permissions to change the permissions. Its annoying please help

hello @anonymous89002 those type of changes requires super user privileges (admin), so in order to execute it you should use sudo command, but this is not recommended because npm packages shouldn't have sudo permissions. So you would like to install npm and it's packages with NVM or Homebrew.

You can refer to this guide: https://tecadmin.net/install-nvm-macos-with-homebrew/

Ok , I have installed this, what command do I use now to have the super user privalages and to have access to these files? Sorry I am new. Thanks in advance

just type sudo before any command, it will ask your password. But again is not recommended
