Angular-cli: Cannot install angular-cli

[kkanedaa]

I am trying to install angular-cli (v.1.0). I have two Mac computers, on which one device (MacBook Pro Mid-2015) the installation was successful. But on my other Mac (iMac Early-2011), I get the following error message:

`npm ERR! Darwin 16.7.0
npm ERR! argv "/usr/local/bin/node" "/usr/local/bin/npm" "install" "-g" "-f" "@angular/cli"

I used the following command to install it (without success):

npm install -g -f @angular/cli

After it failed, I tried to clean the cache, uninstall it, and try one more time - again without success (same error message as above):

npm cache clean
npm uninstall -g @angular/cli
npm install -g @angular/cli

In the error message, it says permission denied, but I am the only user on this mac with admin privileges.

Does anyone know what is wrong and why I cannot install it?

Thanks in advance.

Try running the command as root:
sudo npm install -g @angular/cli
