To get rid of access errors, these steps can help:

Step1: Homebrew installation[https://brew.sh/]: (on terminal)

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Check version: node -v, npm -v

After going back and forth i used homebrew. Just run: "sudo brew install angular-cli" If you have homebrew installed, it solved all my problems including node-sass issues on angular 7

This worked for me.

 sudo npm install --unsafe-perm -g @angular/cli 

Answer 5

For my mac environment

sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/lib/node_modules

running this solve the issue after that just run npm command

Answer 6

I've faced a problem very similar to this one before. It's most likely that you installed Node & NPM as root etc.

You should attempt to re-install Node & NPM without sudo, one of these scripts might work for you: https://gist.github.com/isaacs/579814

Then retry npm i -g angular-cli and hopefully should work no problems.

Best of luck!
