Hi,
Please note: corvid-cli is still in development and not officially released yet. We are working hard to make it ready for use as soon as possible. We plan to Alpha release it within the next few weeks, and we hope to officially launch it this summer.
Regarding the specific issue you are experiencing - the cause is the OS permissions on specific folders on your computer. The recommended way to alleviate the issue: Use a Node Version Manager, such as fnm or nvm . You can also search for the issue on stack overflow to find alternative solutions, example here .
Please keep in mind the note I wrote at the beginning of this reply, and if you do decide to use corvid-cli at this time, make sure to update it regularly by running - npm update -g corvid-cli - and stay tuned for the official release.
Thanks!
Hi,
Thanks a lot for your answer. I will wait the official release to be sure everything work good 
Good job
Hey Tom,
In my case all I had to do was use sudo But now upon attempting init, I get the following error:
[ corvid ] Error: no username, organisation or repository criteria specified!
I understand it’s not released yet, but I’m assuming this might be a fault with the current documentation (since there’s no mention of any login cmds) and just giving you a heads up.
@skmedia Hi,
What is the command you ran to get this error?
Thanks
@tom-enden I got it when trying to init one of my projects/sites as per the current documentation on a debian-based system running the latest node.js LTS:
corvid init
@skmedia Hi David,
It seems that you installed the wrong package. You need to install corvid-cli, not corvid. Please keep in mind the note I wrote in my initial response to this forum thread, and stay tuned for updates.
@skmedia usually this happens because a different user installed npm compared to the user you’re logged in as when trying to run npm install corvid-cli.
You can reclaim ownership of NPM’s data directory by running:
sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/.npm
@mecampbell25 This makes sense, thanks Matt. It’s probably owned by the superuser atm.
@skmedia Sure thing David. Yep, probably, you can check by running:
ls -lah ~ | grep .npm
