EACCESS on Linux Mint
See original GitHub issueHey,
I tried to install the CLI globally, but encountered an issue where npm didn’t had the permission to install the package in /usr/lib/node_modules. However, after adding the --unsafe-perm=true flag to the sudo npm install --global capture-website-cli --unsafe-perm=true I was able to install it successfully.
Add it to the docs? or wiki?

It’s the first time I encountered this problem. All other global installs worked without passing
--unsafe-perm=true.I know it’s not the issue for this package specifically, I was just suggesting that you should add the
--unsafe-perm=trueflag in the docs, for installation.
