The same error is encountered when doing:

• npm install @vue/cli
• npm install yorkie

For security reasons, if you run npm install as root, npm will set the user to “nobody” when running postinstall scripts, which does not have access to the project directory, thus the error message.

This error (Yorkie@2.0.0) is related to the security attributes of the project-vuejs folder. So, create your projects outside the root / folder, make Linux updates (Ubuntu …) and success to everyone!
