I tried installing other npm packages and it worked, the cli is the only one that doesn't work

CodePudding user response：

Most probably it has to do with the user rights. Here's an article on npm addressing your problem.

Boils down to two things you can try:

Reinstall npm with a node version manager
Manually change npm's default directory

I had this issue many times in the past and tried various solutions. Some of them didn't do much more than f*cking my setup even more, that's why it's really worthy to follow the official path.
