Cannot install @angular/cli on Linux

Question

When I execute command: npm install -g @angular/cli I get an error:

npm WARN checkPermissions Missing write access to /usr/local/lib/node_modules
npm ERR! path /usr/local/lib/node_modules
npm ERR! code EACCES
npm ERR! errno -13
npm ERR! syscall access

And then I tried to execute command: sudo npm install -g @angular/cli but I got an error:

npm ERR! path /usr/local/bin/ng
npm ERR! code EEXIST
npm ERR! Refusing to delete /usr/local/bin/ng: ../lib/node_modules/angular-cli/bin/ng symlink target is not controlled by npm /usr/local/bin

npm ERR! Move it away, and try again.

How can I install Angular-CLI if even sudo priviliges are not sufficient?

I do it and now I get an error which is described github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/6848 but solution doesn't work in my example. — user

It looks like a write issue.

You have two options to use sudo (not the best option) or change the folder owner.

sudo npm install -g @angular/cli
sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/lib/node_modules

Check content symlink path eventually reinstall duplicity a set rights.
