[SOLVED] sh: 1: tailwindcss: Permission denied // error on build process Tailwindcss CLI

Issue

I have installed nodejs version: v18.2.0,

and while i am trying to build my css with tailwind, and with the build command:

npx tailwindcss -i ./src/input.css -o ./public/css/output.css --watch

i just get the error:

sh: 1: tailwindcss: Permission denied The terminal process "/usr/bin/bash '-c', 'npx tailwindcss -i ./src/input.css -o ./public/css/output.css --watch'" terminated with exit code: 126.

I am a beginner in tailwindcss and linux(ubuntu) and i dont know where the problem is.

30.5.2022 Update:

I have now installed nodejs and npm correctly.

My Versions are:

jonas@jonas-ubuntu ~> node -v

v18.2.0 

jonas@jonas-ubuntu ~> npm -v

8.11.0

If i now try to run to run the command:

npx tailwindcss -i ./src/input.css -o ./public/css/output.css --watch

It gives me this output:

sh: 1: tailwindcss: Permission denied

A look at my user permissions with: ls -la

jonas@jonas-ubuntu ~/D/G/WOWA-BAU-NEU (main)> ls -la
insgesamt 100

they look correct to write and read.

What I didnt really from you understand was:

If these are all OK, I would recommend looking at your user permissions globally (i.e. make sure you are in the wheel group, which can be done via: usermod -a -G wheel username).

Solution

Had the same problem again after a new installation of ubuntu and for me worked now this solution:

npm rebuild

source: sh: 1: cross-env: Permission denied on laravel mix
