I made some changes to the npm configuration in the previous days, and now I consistently receive the same error while trying to install any of a variety of packages. Essentially, I cannot utilize npm anymore due to what I think is a personal erroneous change to npm settings.
I have uninstalled node and npm, and re-installed, and tried the configuration settings in the npm blog, and I still get the same error. Perhaps it has to do with permissions in Cellar directory? I thought I had taken care of that previously...
It is not clear to me what is the issue and would appreciate your help very much.
Error output is below:
