[email protected] error

[Ryjekk]

hello guys, during install, I get this error :
Any clue why?

npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1
npm ERR! [email protected] install: node install.js
npm ERR! Exit status 1
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Failed at the [email protected] install script.
npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

I, too, have had this issue on an up-to-date version of Manjaro Linux.

For anyone still having this issue, just use:
sudo npm install -g fb-messenger-cli --unsafe-perm=true
it should fix mkdir problem (solution based on this).

Also, you may have a problem with write permission in "/usr/lib/node_modules/fb-messenger-cli/" folder, in which case just use chmod.
For example: sudo chmod a+rw /usr/lib/node_modules/fb-messenger-cli/

Still an issue, but @Mazurel workaround works fine..
