Build Web Apps with Expressjs Challenge: Clonning Problem

1

When I try to clone using: git clone https://github.com/FreeCodeCamp/fcc-expressworks.git && chmod 744 fcc-expressworks/setup.sh && fcc-expressworks/setup.sh && source ~/.profile

I get this error at the end:

Error: EACCES: permission denied, access '/usr/local/lib/node_modules'
npm ERR!  { Error: EACCES: permission denied, access '/usr/local/lib/node_module

And when I try to run it as admin, I get this:

fatal: destination path 'fcc-expressworks' already exists and is not an empty directory.

And even if I delete the files there and run it as admin again, I get:

chmod: changing permissions of 'fcc-expressworks/setup.sh': Operation not permitted

I solved it by putting sudo in front of each command (at the beginning, and after each &&). Thanks to @alpox. :slight_smile:
