Hello

Thank you for providing that information.

I assume the issue is occurring on this step: command: npm install --prefer-offline --no-audit --progress=false

The issue is due to the command wanting to run as root but by default on the image you are using the user is the circleci user. This can be seen by adding the following run step:

- run: whoami

The output will show the following

whoami
circleci

I would recommend trying to use the same command with sudo which you can run against any command to run as root on CircleCI

An example of the command to run can be found below:

command: sudo npm install --prefer-offline --no-audit --progress=false`

Kind Regards
Owen Oliver
