Run these commands in a terminal window:
sudo chown -R $USER ~/.npm
sudo chown -R $USER /usr/lib/node_modules
sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/lib/node_modules
Same problem. I reinstalled the latest version of node via https://nodejs.org/en/download/ instead of using terminal. This resolved the issue.
If you're really blocked on installing NPM modules globally (e.g. on some corporate laptop), you could just install them all in a single local folder somewhere and then add the path to node_modules/.bin/ to your PATH environment.
I had this issue, I could fixed it by calling sudo on every global install. I wasn't ok with that.
I followed the n package installation advices to be able to install npm packages without sudo.
sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/bin /usr/local/lib /usr/local/include /usr/local/share
Answer of @jeduard didn't work for me.
