I'm unable to install Express in Android Termux. I have the latest Node.js installed.
It is working perfectly when I use Private storage, but I'm using cd /storage/sdcard0/NodeJS/Test/ and getting a permission denied error. I saw the word symlink repeatedly in the terminal's error message.
Here's what I saw after commanding npm install express --save:
$ npm install express --save

Is it really possible to install Express while current storage is something like /storage/sdcard0/...?
