npm update check failed

How to fix this message on every Homebridge start?

┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

if I run this command on Pi I have this chown: cannot access '/home/homebridge/.config': No such file or directory Homebridge works as a service on my setup.

npm version is - 5.0.3 I’ve also same problem when I use any npm command. npm command is working fine but why this code is showing, I don’t know…

I think it was in npm version 5.0.x issue. I updated 5.0.3 to 5.2.0 with this command

sudo chown -R $USER:$(id -gn $USER) /home/prashanth/.config

npm install -g npm now npm is working fine.
