Just tried @liamegan 's suggestion in https://github.com/Hashnode/mern-cli/issues/16. npm install now run successfully in my vagrant.

$ mkdir ~/node_modules/
$ cd ~/your_new_app/
$ ln -s ~/node_modules/

Need to change permision for the node_modules too sudo chown -R $USER:$GROUP ~/node_modules

then do npm install

I had a similar problem but the error was related to syscall open rather than syscall chmod. There is some problem with shared folder as stated above. I followed @amoshydra’s steps above, without running chmod, and modules installed. Thanks @amoshydra!

Still the root cause of this issue is not known! Hope someone can find it.
