Setup Angular CLI on Ubuntu

Question

I'm working on a xubuntu 16.04 LTS version and I'm trying to install the Angular cli on my machine. I have already tried to remove, clean the npm cache, then reinstall, but that doesn't work. When I write npm install -g @angular/cli in the console, I got the following errors:

$ npm install -g @angular/cli

Try running it as root like this:

$ sudo npm install -g @angular/cli
