Can't install npm packages anymore due to macOS Big Sur upgrade


Was having the same issue. It was solved by increasing the file's ulimit.

To check what you have right now, do:

ulimit -a

That should display something like this:

-t: cpu time (seconds)              unlimited-f: file size (blocks)              12288-d: data seg size (kbytes)          unlimited-s: stack size (kbytes)             8192-c: core file size (blocks)         0-v: address space (kbytes)          unlimited-l: locked-in-memory size (kbytes)  unlimited-u: processes                       2784-n: file descriptors                12288

Then, to increase the file size limit, run the following:

ulimit -f [WHATEVER SIZE LIMIT YOU WANT]

For myself, I decided to set it to unlimited to make sure this would not be a problem again, so:

ulimit -f unlimited


In my case, thank you @Flowkap, all issues:

  1. mentioned npm install
  2. double machine reboot after sleep of more then 24 hours
  3. error when using SentryWebpackPlugin during the build process
  4. local git repository corruption issue I raised as well

All solved by removing the Trend Micro Security
