lite-server not launching | node module permissions?

Question

When I try to start lite-server, I get this error. I'm not sure what other information is needed, but I'll be happy to provide more if necessary. I am running this on Manjaro Linux, not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Answer 1

So, the problem was with the lite-server installation. I removed the node_modules folder and reinstalled. This fixed the issue.
