npm ERR! path C:\Users\End User\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\vue-cli\node_modules\nan\package.json npm ERR! code EPERM npm ERR! errno -4048 npm ERR! syscall unlink npm ERR!

Please try running this command again as root/Administrator.

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in: npm ERR! C:\Users\End User\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache_logs\2017-09-10T06_15_03_457Z-debug.log

I tried all the possible solutions found online :
- running from windows cmd with administrator access,
- npm cache clean
- closed my text editor
- restarted my PC

Please do help me solve this issue.

You have a reason et the end of the error: "Please try running this command again as root/Administrator." — Adam Orłowski

i also had issues on my mac, but maybe here are some hints to help you

goto folder: C:\Users\End User\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules (in windows make sure to enable all folders)
move folders @vue and vue-cli to trash (previous versions)
run cmd.exe as administrator !
npm install @vue/cli -g

hopefully this trick will work for you, see Mac OS : Install vue cli does work properly for my answer on the issue with a mac

thx
