Development: Meteor error "EACCES: permission denied"

I am currently trying to get the latest code running in Development… Whenever I run the meteor start commend I jet the following error:

user@machine:/mnt/c/Users/user/Rocket.Chat$ meteor npm start

> meteor

I had this working previously, using the instructions outlined within the developer guide but it has not worked since I tried updating the codebase. Note that the file it is trying to access is random, chanes on every compile, and the specified folder is empty.

Note that I am new to developing using meteor so any help is appreciated no matter how basic :slight_smile:

Hi
_### Error: EACCES: permission denied, stat ‘/home/dev/Projects/vendor-chat/data/db/tmp/.meteorignore’

These two commands saved my life
**

  • npm install --unsafe-perm

**

  • And then ownership change command for current user.

sudo chown -R user:user path_to_rocketchat_codebase_directory

Example sudo chown -R Alex /myrocketchat
