Why are you running it inside of /mnt/c/Windows/System32 you're not going to have write priveleges in that folder.

[michael-zock]

because that's where the prompt ended up, this piece of software is the only reason I even touched WSL for.

This will write files to the folder it is run in, so you will need to run it in a folder you hace write access to.

Also no need to run WSL just for node on windows.
