Error: spawn EACCES about wikibase-cli HOT 4 CLOSED

@maxlath got it working with a chmod +x bin/* 👍

wd config path gives /usr/local/lib/node_modules/wikidata-cli/config.json. Also my node is installed via nvm.

from wikibase-cli.

hi!
We have seen those in the past, let's see were it could come from:

• Do you have the same error when running wd props?
• What does wd config path output? Do you have write rights on this folder?
• Are all the files in the /usr/local/lib/node_modules/wikidata-cli marked as executables?

from wikibase-cli.

• wd props gives the EACCES error
• wd config path gives the EACCES error
• Yes except index.js . I fixed this with chmod +x index.js, but still get the EACCESS error
  

from wikibase-cli.

sorry, my mistake, I meant /usr/local/lib/node_modules/wikidata-cli/bin, but the issue with wd props an wd config path hint that there is something more fundamentally wrong with the install anyway: did you try to reinstall it? I don't see how it could end up differently, but it doesn't cost much to try

Otherwise, I generally recommend to install node with nvm: in addition to giving greater control of the node version, it installs the global executables in a folder in your home folder (ex: ~/.nvm/versions/node/v8.2.1/bin/wd), thus avoiding the need to use sudo and the associated EACCESS errors
