[solved] npm is broken; can't install angular

Hello my friends,

my npm is broken. If I try to install angular by npm I run into an endless loop.

sudo npm install -g @angular/cli
...
gyp verb tmpdir == cwd automatically will remove dev files after to save disk space
gyp verb command install [ '8.4.0' ]
gyp verb install input version string "8.4.0"
gyp verb install installing version: 8.4.0
gyp verb install --ensure was passed, so won't reinstall if already installed
gyp verb install version not already installed, continuing with install 8.4.0
gyp verb ensuring nodedir is created /usr/lib/node_modules/@angular/cli/node_modules/node-sass/.node-gyp/8.4.0
gyp WARN EACCES user "root" does not have permission to access the dev dir "/usr/lib/node_modules/@angular/cli/node_modules/node-sass/.node-gyp/8.4.0"
gyp WARN EACCES attempting to reinstall using temporary dev dir "/usr/lib/node_modules/@angular/cli/node_modules/node-sass/.node-gyp"
gyp verb tmpdir == cwd automatically will remove dev files after to save disk space

...

User "root" have no permissions ...!? Holy mother of god!

I try to clean cache, reinstall npm, uninstall and install @angular/cli and clean node_module directory without success.

npm -v
5.3.0

node -v
v8.4.0

If I try to install angular-ide I get the error output:

sudo npm install -g angular-ide

Sometimes it helps to read the documentation. <.<

Re: [solved] npm is broken; can't install angular

sudo npm install -g @angular/cli --unsafe-perm

did also do the trick for me ;-)
