npm ERR! Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, rename

In my situation this helped:

Before proceeding to execute these commands close all VS Code instances.

  1. clean cache with

     npm cache clean --force
    
  2. install the latest version of npm globally as admin:

     npm install -g npm@latest --force
    
  3. clean cache with

     npm cache clean --force
    
  4. Try to install your component once again.

I hope this fix your issue. If not, you may temporarily disable your antivirus program and try again.
