I am getting this error while installing the sfdx cli in my ubuntu 22.04. I have already installed nodejs and npm even though I didn't understand what the problem is.

  • Your user account does not have write permissions to /usr/local/lib/node_modules. Try sudo npm install sfdx-cli --global if you have access and enough privileges to sudo.

  • @identigral using npm in sudo mode is not needed and not recommended medium.com/@ExplosionPills/dont-use-sudo-with-npm-5711d2726aa3

NPM is not correctly configured to run in none-sudo mode.

NPM should not require sudo. Running npm with sudo is highly discouraged.

This is the question you're looking for. I would also recommend using NVM.
