- new installation openhabian image (64bit) on sd raspberry pi 5
- Mosquitto install is possible
- zigbee2mqtt install ends in this error:
Zigbee2MQTT install & config… FAILED (npm ci)
with my pi3 same way no problems !?
I suspect it’s this.

What about using sudo ?
Not possible same problem
Please use forum search functionality before posting. The problem is well known, manual installation works, the rest is wip.
Please use code fences for code and logs.
My personal opinion: If somebody asks a polite question and if I’ve got the necessary knowledge and the time then I’m pleased to help, otherwise not.

I have spend many hours to fix that problem, I did it manually and with different images.
Sorry but I‘m not deep inside openhab like you,
can you tell me why it has worked with my raspberry3 some days ago and now with my raspberry 5 not ?
I doubt.
In your second post / that is the third post in this thread you tried to run the install process as user openhabian. Due to the -g flag the software will be install in global place where root privileges are required. As no root privileges are provided you get permission denied.
Running the same install process with sudo in front of the command may fail but I doubt that it will fail with the same error message permission denied as root has all the privileges apart of you would work in a SELINUX environment which is not the case for the openhabian images.
So please provide the log / debug output for the command when you do use sudo.
Because the command that was executed was different …?
I have installed 4.3.0 release build using Rasberry pi imager a few days ago. Before loading my backup up I have installed zigbee2mqtt and mosqitto using openhabian-config.
No problems.
Did you add your user to the uucp, tty, dialout groups before installing zigbee2mqtt?
I did the same like you with a raspberry 3 and it works, but not with the rasbberry 5 that‘s why I‘m wondering 
Post the output/error message of the command
