Answer 1

Important Note: My answer has vulnerability issues. Giving permissions as root. Use it only after analyzing the effect on your system.

After using

sudo npm install -g PACKAGE-NAME --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root

I still had issues creating a project with the CLI. these commands, allowing permissions, fixed it:

sudo chown -R $USER:$GROUP ~/.npm

sudo chown -R $USER:$GROUP ~/.config
