I’m trying to install expo for the first time and am working through the instructions from https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/introduction/installation.html. At the end of https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/guides/genymotion.html, I’m doing:
sudo npm install -g exp
and I get a fatal error. The key line seems to be:
ngrok - error unpacking binary { Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/exp/node_modules/@expo/ngrok/bin/ngrok'
The rest of this message is the tail of the log:
