How did you try to install Expo? How old is your Mac? What operating system are you running?

I’m trying install expo with
npm install -g exp, my mac is from 2017, I have highSierra

4

what version of npm are you using?

5

I’m using the version 5.7.1

6

I just install it on another mac and same issue

7

i just successfully installed with node 9.8.0 and npm 5.6.0

can you try with those? trying to isolate whether its an npm issue or not.

8

nothing, same issue :c

9

it might be some kind of permissions issue.
have you tried following this guide?
https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions

just searching for ideas here.

10

nothing, same mistake, should I use yarn?

Hey @geceba! We’ve changed the way this dependency is installed in exp v50.0.1. Could you try again with npm install -g exp, and let us know, if it works now?
