This is a known issue with some installers, here's the documentation on fixing npm permissions.
If you're curious to learn more, the npm developers have recently talked about it on JavaScript Jabber #174.

The -g flag to node does a global install on the machine. As such it requires permissions to write at least to /usr/lib.

So if you want to install with the -g option, do so as an administrative user, usually root. Sudo is a good way of doing that.

If you are not the administrator of the machine or are otherwise trying to install in your local directory, remove the -g flag.

If you are not the administrator and need it installed globally, contact your system administrator.

I have researched on google the main issue was npm installation. I think, does not require "sudo" for npm installation.
