You need allow access to some folder as below:
sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/bin/ sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/share/Allow access only to
node_modulesfolder might be your issue not be solved.I hope this answer useful for you.

I think your account is not root account so you not have permission to access.
You can change change owner permision, you can run command:
sudo chown -R [owner]:[owner] /usr/local/lib/node_modulesOr
sudo chown -R ownerName: /usr/local/lib/node_modulesOr
sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/lib/node_modulesI hope it solve error for you.
