Error while running @grafana/toolkit

Hello everybody,

I use CentOS 8 and would like to create a new plugin.
I proceeded according to the tutorial:

Grafana 7.0 -> Ok
NodeJS 12.x -> Ok
yarn -> Ok
python -> Ok

In the plugin directory, create a plugin from template using the plugin:create command:

npx @grafana/toolkit plugin:create my-plugin

npx @grafana/toolkit plugin:create my-plugin

Die Installation von @grafana/toolkit@latest ist mit dem Code 1 fehlgeschlagen

Can someone help me???

Looks like you’re trying to install grafana-toolkit inside /root/ which you don’t have permission to do. The command shouldn’t require root privileges to run.

Hmm,

i have only started:
npx @grafana/toolkit plugin:create my-plugin

I don’t know where the toolkit will be installed.
I am in the directory:
/var/lib/grafana/plugins

and I am logged in as root
Access shouldn’t be a problem or am I missing something ???
