Solution :-

You need to change ownership of node_modules, because you use sudo npm install -g node-sass so its ownership set to root,

To change ownership to current user as group -

sudo chown -R root:YOUR_USERNAME /usr/local/lib/node_modules/

sudo chmod -R 775 /usr/local/lib/node_modules/

And never use sudo for npm related query.
