I'm having problems installing node-sass on my server.
root@west:/usr/lib/node_modules# npm install -g node-sass npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: Legacy versions of mkdirp are no longer supported. Please update to mkdirp 1.x.

A complete log of this run can be found in: npm ERR! /root/.npm/_logs/2020-03-26T08_39_09_785Z-debug.log The issue seems to be around permissions:
gyp ERR! stack Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/usr/lib/node_modules/node-sass/.node-gyp'
Yet it seems ok here:
root@west:/usr/lib/node_modules# ls -lh total 8.0K drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4.0K Mar 25 20:18 @babel drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4.0K Mar 25 20:17 npm Am I missing something?
UPDATE: I've even tried using NVM to configure the node version:
curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.11/install.sh -o install_nvm.sh bash install_nvm.sh source ~/.profile nvm install 12.16.1 nvm use 12.16.1 But I still get errors:

So I have managed to install it with:
sudo npm install --save-dev --unsafe-perm node-sass npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: Legacy versions of mkdirp are no longer supported. Please update to mkdirp 1.x.

I've tried:
sass --help node-sass --help Neither seem to work. "whereis" comes back with:
