Please follow npm site - https://docs.npmjs.com/resolving-eacces-permissions-errors-when-installing-packages-globally

"If you see an EACCES error when you try to install a package globally, you can either: Reinstall npm with a node version manager (recommended), or Manually change npm’s default directory"

I followed recommended way - installed nvm. its resolved my issue
