- Research direction
- Investigate the EPERM error on Windows by reproducing the installation process. Check if the error is related to insufficient permissions in the default npm cache directory or if it's a known issue with the ied package manager. Look at the error stack trace and consider using a different installation path or running as administrator. Review any closed issues or PRs that might have addressed this.
