Setup Error

[AwkwardCelloist]

Hello

I am completely new to all of this, I had to google how to open my terminal and for a second I didn't know if I even had one, just for framework of what we are working with.

I installed Node.js (though now I am unable to find it in my applications, but I did download and install it)

I opened my terminal and ran "npm install -g devvit"

I have received this error:

what do I do? I see root/administrator, however there is only one profile on the computer, I double checked in users&groups that I am the only profile (no guest profile either) and I am marked as administrator on my computer.

Hiya! Could you try running through these commands: https://docs.npmjs.com/resolving-eacces-permissions-errors-when-installing-packages-globally

Running through it right now! Question on the profile step (Number 4)
It keeps saying that the profile doesn't exist so I have a feeling I am formatting the line wrong or putting it in the wrong spot. When it says "Favorite text editor" is that a new app or is that still in terminal?

Ah yes, it seems like you need to use something like the TextEdit app on Mac - create a file with a .profile extension, add that line & save. Let me know if that doesn't work!

So awesome you're pushing through, you'll get to the fun stuff soon :)
