npm throws EACCES error on installation of Angular CLI

Question

I am unable to install Angular Cli globally through npm. I keep getting this error when I run npm install -g @angular/cli on macOS:

npm ERR! nod

Try using this: On the command line, in your home directory, create a directory for global installations:

mkdir ~/.npm-global

Configure npm to use the new directory path:

npm config set prefix '~/.npm-global'

In your preferred text editor, open or create a ~/.profile file and add this line:

export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH

On the command line, update your system variables:

source ~/.profile

Test installing package globally without using sudo. Now run npm install -g @angular/cli it should work.
