Can't install Angular CLI

Question

No matter how many times i tried... i can't install Angular CLI on my computer...

I'm using:

npm install -g @angular/cli

And this is the console error log:

C:\Users\Félix Bejarano\AppData\Roaming\npm\ng -> C:\Users\Félix Bejarano\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\@angular\cli\bin\ng
npm ERR! path C:\Users\Félix Bejarano\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\@angular\cli\node_modules\fsevents\node_modules

npm ERR! Please try running this command again as root/Administrator.

Any help?

Have you tried *running this command again as root/Administrator*, like the error message says? — R. Richards, Mar 27 '18 at 23:34
as in opening a command prompt as Administrator and trying the install from there? You can also try to nuke `C:\\Users\\Félix Bejarano\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm\\node_modules\\@angular` and then running again — joh04667, Mar 27 '18 at 23:49
you could try adding `sudo` infront of the command or `--force`at the end of the command so `sudo npm install -g @angular/cli` or `npm install -g @angular/cli --force` — Smokey Dawson, Mar 28 '18 at 00:00

Try this in a windows command line:

First create a directory called npm-global or something directly under C:\ with the same user OR create this under your user name. C:\users\myuserId. Side note:- the é character in your username C:\Users\Félix Bejarano could a problem - I don't know.

Run following command in a Command window - (for bash etc you adjust the paths)

npm config --global set prefix c:\npm-global\npm

then

npm config --global set cache C:\npm-global\npm-cache

This will get you a clean folder that you have access to.
