I am installing node on a clean macOS Mojave box using Homebrew. I am trying to set npm install directory in a user owned dir; the dir tools already exists and is owned by the user:



npm config set prefix '/Users/giorgio/tools/npm_global'


And that fails with this message. Does anyone know what is going on?
