这个错误以前遇到过，关键词 symlink permission，意思是没有创建超链接的权限；

我今天这种环境经常遇到这种问题（Windows宿主机器+Vagrant Ubuntu Host机器）

 

解决方案

给 npm install 添加参数 --no-bin-links

ganiks@ganiks-ubuntu-trusty-64:/ganiks/parse-server$ npm install -g mongodb-runner parse-server --no-bin-links

+ mongodb-runner@4.7.1
+ parse-server@3.1.3
added 563 packages from 403 contributors in 28.79s

ganiks@ganiks-ubuntu-trusty-64:/ganiks/parse-server$ ls /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ -l

One scenario that I can think of is working with a virtual machine (i.e. vagrant w/ virtual box or VMware) on windows host.
You can't translate symlinks to a synchronized folder on Windows share, so you will need this option to go around it.

Use it for any filesystem that doesn’t support symbolic links.

简言之，所有不支持软链接的磁盘系统都需要用到这个 --no-bin-links
