Welcome to the community @fagnersantos !

Sorry to hear that you have problems.

Sadly do not know what exactly is going on but because of the mention of Permission denied my first guess would be that it is related to the user and that he does not have all the required permissions.

i am trying to install n8n using npm but it ends with this error and does not install.

I already set the permissions but nothing happens.

I will try to install using docker.

Docker is for sure always preferred. Makes many things easier (esp. up-and downgrading) and also has a lower chance of things going wrong.
