Error: EPERM: operation not permitted installing ionic 3 and cordova

Question

I am trying to install ionic 3 and cordova for the first time in my desktop. I am using windows 7.

npm install -g ionic cordova

shows me this error :

I tried entering windows PowerShell in administrator mode but the problem is not solved. Any idea please ?

Answer 1

I solved the problem.

It is not about node-uuid.

I just go to appData/Roaming/npm and i deleted

node-module folder

and

npm cache

and then, It worked
