It’s not a magic bullet.Azure DevOps Server 2022 | Azure DevOps Server 2020 | Azure DevOps Server 2019 | TFS 2018 Never run as root and it will be true by default. If the user is running as root it may cause the app to force changes that could extend beyond what a running script should have. Use this sparingly probably bad to set globally for all running scripts. This was added to help installing files into ‘safe’ locations without sudo. Sudo is causing more trouble than it’s worth. Since so many people have npm installing in their home dir, requiring Installing no matter what, and use this behavior for local installing. In the npm 1.0 future, it will probably require sudo for global Npm config set unsafe-perm false explicitly. If someone really wants to encourage this all the time, then they can do
#Npm config set to non secure http code
Initially this would cause the app to either Error out when false or to toggle the user and group.īut finally, we reach the reasoning for this code (and still it’s not what many may expect). This goes all the way back to February 7th, 2011! It’s possible then you may end up having the code run as ‘root’ when installing (which could then be considered ‘unsafe’) I suppose that this isn’t ‘unsafe’ but it does force the package installer to never drop into user and group switching when installing apps.

By setting unsafe-perm to true will force NPM to attempt to always run within the context of the running script. This issue that I’m facing is that the permissions my current user has are unable to create the symlinks that are being asked by the program. In other words, if we set unsafe-perm to always true, we will stop getting the user and the group the command was ran as and we will over-load the defaults. GetUid( this.get( 'user'), this.get( 'group'), cb)

Do this first, to support `npm update npm -g` if we're not in unsafe-perm mode, then figure out who Set the unsafe-perm flag to run scripts with root privileges. If npm was invoked with root privileges, then it will change the uid to the user account or uid specified by the user config, which defaults to nobody. If set explicitly to false, then installing as a non-root user will fail.

Set to true to suppress the UID/GID switching when running package scripts. Let’s take a look through the source code I never run as root, or with sudo privileges unless I am forced to. But wait, it’s always true unless using root. So there is a config setting allowed in the package.json that actually can set this per package. What exactly is this doing? Is it ‘unsafe’? The solution seems to be almost the same in both cases.

When attempting to install Sindre Sorhus’ Pure ZSH theme both in Ubuntu WSL and Elementary Loki, I have issues with not having permissions.
#Npm config set to non secure http windows
The issue that I’ve most recently encountered occurs in two different OS’s Windows and Elementary. I’ve routinely been directed to what feels like a magic fix to issues when installing items over NPM.
