Hello Just starting out and following tutorials on installing node red dashboard.

I went to Manage Palettes > Install > Node Red dashboard

MacBook:.node-red cube$ npm i node-red-dashboard

I tried reinstalling NPM but that didn't work. Could anyone help guide me in the right path?

For some reason, the installer cannot write to the locations shown.

This is possibly due to you having used SUDO with a node-red npm install previously?

Try deleting /Users/cube/.npm/_cacache, npm should recreate it.
