I have tried this many times and had this issue in the past, when I tried to install a different node package in another project. I moved on without that other package but now I'm stuck. I've tried to unset the read properties for everything in my working directory. I've used the sudo commands to install packages and change the file owner. I've disabled controlled access in windows. The other commands from the web that I tried aren't recognized at all. I guess I have to remove and re-install ubuntu. I'm not sure what else to do at this point. For context, my experience is limited with Ubuntu and using a terminal in general. I'm using it for web development so, npm install, run and test are pretty much all I ever use. Now it doesn't work. Thanks in advance!

UPDATE**: I checked permissions and was finally able to change them but it's not a permission issue. It's trying to rename a file that has all the permissions. I'm not sure why it's returning an error, the package itself is very common.
