This sounds like permissions issue with .npm folder in home directory that I faced also. Try following:

  1. Make sure you installed node via homebrew (this will allow you to install Appium to a home directory without sudo). Do not install node via apt. Use brew list to check if node installed via brew.

  2. Fix permissions issues with .npm folder (thanks for this answer): sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/.npm

  3. Install Appium with: npm install -g appium
