npm ERR! error rolling back Error: ENOTEMPTY: directory not empty

Hi, thanks for your tool.

I was going to try out your BOM creator, and I followed your github instructions. npm throws some errors when I type "npm install" that I can't figure out how to fix. I'm not familiar with node at all.

Thanks for your help!

Hi could you try updating nodejs version with https://github.com/taaem/nodejs-linux-installer script and try one more time.

Don't forget to remove nodejs first before upgrading with following command:
sudo apt purge nodejs
