**Problem: **I need to run Git Bash as admin as my NPM install won’t work otherwise. I know on Unix, I can usually just add sudo to the beginning, but how do I do something similar on Windows?

**Solution: **To run a Git Bash Terminal as Admin/root administrator:

  • Go to your Start menu
  • Search for Git Bash
  • Right Click on the listing
  • Select “Run as Administrator”
  • Now just cd into your directory, and install away
