I am facing a problem while upgrading the expo cli.
After running npm install -g expo-cli
it runs the command for like 3-5 min and then it exits with an error
errno: -4048``code: EPERM
I tried running the VSCode terminal as an Admin and also tried installing it with CMD ran as Administrator same errors.
Some additional info text:
npm ERR! The operation was rejected by your operating system.
npm ERR! It's possible that the file was already in use (by a text editor or antivirus),
npm ERR! or that you lack permissions to access it.
npm ERR!
npm ERR! If you believe this might be a permissions issue, please double-check the
npm ERR! permissions of the file and its containing directories, or try running
npm ERR! the command again as root/Administrator.
I also closed the emulator and VS Code while installing it but with no luck.
Okay so the fix for anybody having the same issue was to kill the adb.exe
process. After that it ran faster and without an error!
