I used to be able to install npm globally but since upgrading to Mojave, have encountered issues in installing npm, nvm, node packages or even reinstalling node.js. I’m basically getting EACCES errors. I’ve tried yarn, sudo and without sudo.

Am admin. Npm installation results to warnings. Node package installation result to EACCES errors.

After upgrading to MacOS Monterey, I can no longer install anything with npm, npx or yarn As I said, after upgrading to Monterey my MacBook Air M1 some days ago, I can no longer install anything with npm or similar. The problem is that I get no errors but instead when I try to install some packages, the installation take forever and it doesn't actually never end, while before it used to take minutes to finish now after hours nothing happens. I used brew to install node and yarn and they were functionally until the update. I tried to remove and reinstall node and yarn several times but nothing ever changed. I tried to clear and verify the cache but nothing happened. I tried to install them via other ways, but the problem was the same. It seems to be a problem with my internet connection, because with yarn I get a notice about some network errors. But after several tests I can assure that it's everything ok since other programs works fine. The package I'm trying to install is Gatsby package: npm i gatsby - It does not give me any errors and the installation progress doesn't move further till a certain point (which it seems to be random). yarn add gatsby - The progress bar moves a little faster but sometimes it displays some network error communication, but it disappears after a short time. npx gatsby new - (which is the command to create a new gatsby project) Worked the first time and then just stopped working. I tried to install different packages but with each of it, it gives me the same problem. I really don't know how to resolve this situation and I ask for your help. Thanks in advance and sorry for my English.
