Can't install on ubuntu 18.04 about bash-language-server HOT 4 CLOSED

I assume this is unrelated to bash-language-server, but a problem with your npm installation.

Thoughts to fix your npm installation:

• I don't understand why you need to use sudo, have you tried without?
• you could try adding npm i -g bash-language-server --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root
• Other ideas: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35954725/error-eacces-permission-denied-when-trying-to-install-eslint-using-npm

from bash-language-server.

I tried the sudo option as that is what the error message seemed to say it wanted. I tried option 2 and it didn't help (possibly due to my previous sudo'ing). What has worked though, was in the link you sent, by configuring npm to tell it that "global" is somewhere in my account rather than under /usr/lib.

Thanks for the help!

npm i -g bash-language-server --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root worked on Arch Linux for me

I used

sudo npm i -g bash-language-server
