Error: EACCES: permission denied with local npm install

I’m trying to build a dev env for ReScript lang and I got this shell.nix that’s calls nix/default.nix and so on:

shell.nix:

{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:

with pkgs;

let
  rescript-src = ./nix/default.nix;

  rescript = (import rescript-src { inherit pkgs; }).rescript9;
in mkShell {
  name = "kirby_dev";

  buildInputs = [ rescript nodejs ]; 

  shellHook = ''
    mkdir -p ./node_modules/.bin
    ln -sfn ${rescript} ./node_modules/rescript
    ln -sfn ${rescript}/bin/* ./node_modules/.bin
    echo "rescript linked to $(pwd)/node_modules/bs-platform"
    npm install
  '';
}

default.nix:

{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:

with pkgs;

{
  rescript9 = import ./build-rescript.nix {
    inherit stdenv lib fetchFromGitHub ninja runCommand nodejs python3;

    version = "9.1.4";

    ocaml-version = "4.12.0";

    src = fetchFromGitHub {
      owner = "rescript-lang";
      repo = "rescript-compiler";
      rev = "9.1.4";
      sha256 = "0s7g2zfhshsilv9zyp0246bypg34d294z27alpwz03ws9608yr7k";
      fetchSubmodules = true;
    };
  };
}

build-rescript.nix:

{ stdenv, lib, fetchFromGitHub, ninja, runCommand, nodejs, python3,
  ocaml-version, version, src,
  ocaml ? (import ./ocaml.nix {
    version = ocaml-version;

    inherit stdenv lib;

    src = "${src}/ocaml";
  }),
  custom-ninja ? (ninja.overrideAttrs (attrs: {
    src = runCommand "ninja-patched-source" {} ''
      mkdir -p $out
      tar zxvf ${src}/vendor/ninja.tar.gz -C $out
    '';

    patches = [];
  }))
}:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
  inherit src version;

  pname = "rescript";

  buildInputs = [ nodejs python3 custom-ninja ];

  patchPhase = ''
    sed -i 's:./configure.py --bootstrap:python3 ./configure.py --bootstrap:' ./scripts/install.js
    mkdir -p ./native/${ocaml-version}/bin
    ln -sf ${ocaml}/bin/*  ./native/${ocaml-version}/bin
    rm -f vendor/ninja/snapshot/ninja.linux
    cp ${custom-ninja}/bin/ninja vendor/ninja/snapshot/ninja.linux
  '';

  dontConfigure = true;

  buildPhase = ''
    # release build https://github.com/BuckleScript/bucklescript/issues/4091#issuecomment-574514891
    node scripts/install.js
  '';

  installPhase = ''
    mkdir -p $out/bin
    cp -rf jscomp lib vendor odoc_gen native $out
    cp bsconfig.json package.json $out
    ln -s $out/lib/bsb $out/bin/bsb
    ln -s $out/lib/bsc $out/bin/bsc
    ln -s $out/lib/bsrefmt $out/bin/bsrefmt
  '';
}

ocaml.nix:


{ stdenv, lib, src, version }:

stdenv.mkDerivation rec {
  inherit src version;

  name = "ocaml-${version}+bs";

  configurePhase = ''
    ./configure -prefix $out
  '';

  buildPhase = ''
    make -j9 world.opt
  '';

  meta = with lib; {
    branch = "4.12.0";
    platforms = platforms.all;
  };
}

However, when I try to enter the shell I get this permission error:

why npm is trying to access bs-platform folder if I’m creating the rescript folder?
what I could do to improve this dev env?

cleaning derivations gives me another error:
