This sounds like permissions error, have you tried to install it with sudo? – Gavin Thomas

This is simply a permission problem. Basically NPM is trying to write to a directory that is owned by root. There are a few ways to get around this.

  1. You can use the recommended solution from the docs here. Basically it suggest you use a package manager. For example Home Brew is a great one if you are using OSX.

  2. You can install the packages using sudo. This could cause you other problems though and a lot of people freak out about this. In other words,

    sudo npm install - g react-native-cli

  3. You could update the permissions on this folder allowing you to install things to it. This would mean that your user has the right to write to /usr/local/lib/. Type this command into the terminal,

    sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local

Sometimes depending on your system different steps need to be taken. This is actually a very common problem and typically happens to us when we update our systems OS. If this is the first time you have seen this chances are you will see it again. So try and look around and read about the problem. You will notice a lot of the times the solution is to use something like homebrew to install things. Sometimes homebrew can have a permission problem when a new OS comes out. These solutions are always some combination of chown or chmod to give a user's account write access to a specific directory.

For more information on HomeBrew please see this link.
