EACCES: permission denied

Error EACCES: permission denied happens when I try to install adapters.

I've found this topic https://forum.iobroker.net/topic/17206/javascript-adapter-lässt-sich-nicht-mehr-installieren and tried to follow recomendations from it:

sudo chmod 777 /opt/iobroker
sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/.npm
sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/.config
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /opt/iobroker

also, as alternative:

sudo chown -R iobroker /opt/iobroker

All was useless.

Could you help to solve the problem?

@Akra-Bato sagte in EACCES: permission denied:

root@wirenboard-AUCPMJ6J:~# iobroker install mqtt

this is wron also

check from

cd /opt/iobroker
iobroker install mqtt

[Akra Bato]

I think the problem is that iobroker don't have rights to make any changes in /home/iobroker directory,
although I work under root.

[arteck]

@Akra-Bato the folder /home/iobroker is the User folder.... here OK
the install folder is /opt/iobroker .. OK also..

[Akra Bato]

I think the problem is that iobroker don't have rights to make any changes in /home/iobroker directory,
although I work under root.
I made some subdirectories manually, but it continues to display error messages with other subdirectories.

iobroker install mqtt

That command can be executed anywhere. Only for npm install you have to be careful.

@Akra-Bato
Does this help?

sudo chown -R iobroker:iobroker /home/iobroker
sudo chmod -R 755 /home/iobroker

Did you have any user named iobroker before installing?

@AlCalzone , thank you! I solved the problem.
