I am trying to install webworker-threads into my Node project and I keep running onto this error:

Error: EACCES: permission denied, symlink '../mime/cli.js' -\> '../Desktop/NODE/nodejs_advanced/node_performance/node_modules/.bin/mime'

What could be the issue?

npm ERR! path ../mime/cli.js
npm ERR! code EACCES
npm ERR! errno -13
npm ERR! syscall symlink

I was expecting a seamless installation but I keep running onto a PERMISSION DENIED Error.
