npm run setup error

[kcprom]

I had a working instance of assistant-relay v3 working for nearly two years that stopped working on my Raspberry Pi 4
I updated Raspian Buster and reinstalled node.js and npm using nvm as research indicated that could solve the "EACCES: permission denied" error that appears below. Those resolution steps have not been successful. As such I am reaching out for help. Here are my software versions:

node -v = 10.24.0
pm2 -v = 5.2
npm -v = 6.14.11
python -V = 2.7.16
python3 -V = 3.7.3

Below is copy of the commands issued and the results.
