Based upon your directory using \AppData\Roaming, you're on Windows and this error is usually because the path to the npm globals isn't in the Windows PATH or NODE_PATH environment variables.

If you don't want npm to save to this directory, check the npm configuration options and the npm folders docs to see what you can change in this regard...
