I am having a problem with the terminal.
I use Linux Mint 18.3.
When I insert this: npm install -g javascripting

— This is the message that I see.
What can I do about it ?

— Ok, I solved it.

— Sudo? :P

— Yeah all they had to do was read the error haha

— I make the same mistake and have to sit there reading it before facepalming, just because I know that's like the 100'th time I tried to run it without sudo
