How Could I fix this issue

[alshoikan]

I face this message:

[Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/cache/solidity-files-cache.json'] {
errno: -13,
code: 'EACCES',
syscall: 'open',
path: '/cache/solidity-files-cache.json'
}

When I run npx hardhat compile

How could I fix it ?

It seems like Hardaht is trying to use /cache (a directory in the root directory) as the cache path, and you need root access to read/write it. Maybe you have a config that specifies /cache as the path instead of cache or ./cache?
