try with sudo :
sudo npm install -g react-native-cli

it is installed globally and therefore require permissions

It looks like your issue may be incomplete. Are all the fields required by the Issue Template filled out?

If you believe your issue contains all the relevant information, let us know in order to have a maintainer remove the No Template label.

sudo will solve this, but you should not be using that. This means node was installed in the wrong way. You should try to uninstall node and install it via homebrew. Allowing node sudo access with third party packages is just stupid.

sudo helped me.

sudo npm install -g react-native-cli

This helped me as well, I used sudo in the command line and was able to install react-native-cli successfully.

Why is it stupid?

There are certain actions which are not advised to be done with the permission "root"; which means this issue might be encountered even when using sudo before npm

in this case try using something like:
npm install --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root -g react-native-cli

Note: This issue might still come up when installing certain npm packages during your development

add: --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root after npm install or npm -i
