New to nodejs and npm. I have installed nodejs and npm using nvm for windows. Now no matter what library I try to install I get:
npm ERR! code EPERM
npm ERR! syscall mkdir
npm ERR! path C:\
npm ERR! errno -4048
npm ERR! Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, mkdir 'C:\'
npm ERR! [Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, mkdir 'C:\'] {
npm ERR! errno: -4048,
npm ERR! code: 'EPERM',
npm ERR! syscall: 'mkdir',
npm ERR! path: 'C:\\'
npm ERR! }
npm ERR!
npm ERR! The operation was rejected by your operating system.
npm ERR! It's possible that the file was already in use (by a text editor or antivirus),

I've tried clearing the cache, changing the install path, setting the prefix at both the command line and in the config file. Any more suggestions?
Thanks!
