These are some steps i followed to install truffle with docker on my m1 Macbook. I'll be doing it for ubuntu image container

docker run -it ubuntu

on your container execute below:

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade 
apt-get install sudo build-essential python3 wget curl

Then install nvm from https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm#install--update-script

On above link there must be these two commands but with updated versions

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.1/install.sh | bash

then install node and npm with:

nvm install node
node install npm
npm install npm

after executing

nvm install-latest-npm

you'll find a statement to update npm to the latest version, execute that command, which should look like, npm install -g [email protected], after that install truffle

npm install -g truffle

there will be a permission issue in executing above command for which you've to execute

sudo chown -R $(whoami) <path to node_modules directory>

Note: the above command has path to node_modules you need to find the path to your node_modules from your error. in my case it was /root/.nvm/versions/node/v17.9.0/lib/node_modules/ so i executed, sudo chown -R $(whoami) /root/.nvm/versions/node/v17.9.0/lib/node_modules/

retry npm install -g truffle

after this you should be done with installation, but you would face problems where you couldn't execute the truffle file. for this just allow your truffle file to be executed by running: chmod u+x <path to truffle> you may find the path to truffle with which truffle, execute as below.

chmod u+x /root/.nvm/versions/node/v17.9.0/bin/truffle

For Ganache installation:

npm install ganache --global

To your package.json add,

"scripts": {
  "ganache": "ganache --wallet.seed myCustomSeed"
}

Then execute,

npm run ganache

you should be able to see output something like RPC Listening on 127.0.0.1:8545

now execute truffle console, make sure you add correct port number like above 8545 in file truffle-config.js of your code, when you use it.

now execute truffle console
