Node app suddenly having problems initializing

Hey there - I have a node app (Twitch bot) that is now having trouble initializing. The following occurs in the logs:

Installing...
Performing headless installation
ERROR  EACCES: permission denied, stat '/rbd/pnpm-volume/15d22c1e-a171-4243-9bfb-0c373ef9a744/node_modules/media-typer'

When I do an npm install in the terminal, I get the following:

npm ERR! code EACCES
npm ERR! syscall open

Any insight into what could be wrong?

Hi metalandcoffee! Welcome to the forum!

I saw another thread like this recently, where apparently the solution was to open the Glitch terminal and run:

enable-pnpm

Could you try it and let us know? :slight_smile:

Wow that worked! Do you know why that happened to begin with?

Great! :blush:

I could make something up, but essentially… no, I do not.
