Any recommendations on how to 'properly' setup the MacOS

let me see if i can google something, honestly it's a task i do every year and every time i do it, it has changed lol

Thanks @PabloZ

https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm running

curl -o- <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.35.3/install.sh> | bash

Should do the trick. then you can run nvm use 12, 13 or whatever, in your mac user instead of globally. That way you'll be saving permission headaches. After that you should run

nvm use 12

, try doing

which node

to see if it's using the /Users/{{yourname}}.nvm version In my case for example:

/Users/pzignani/.nvm/versions/node/v12.6.0/bin/node

Thanks PabloZ. I did what you said and still am getting errors

What's the output of

which node

?

and now when you run

npm install -g @oracle/suitecloud-cli

you get exactly the same error but with the new path?

The problem is purely the installation of npm on your machine. As many suggested here. Nothing with suitecloud. if you didnt manage to resolve the wirte permissions with npm on your machine you can try giving manually the write permissions to the folder it's complaining about. Not ideal but worth a try. cd into /usr/local/lib/node_modules

sudo chmod -R 777 @oracle

Or

sudo chmod -R +x @oracle
