This can be solved in two ways. Quickest would be to do sudo npm install -g surge. By using sudo, you're assuming root privileges temporarily. You may be asked for your user's password.

A much better way to solve this (and possibly never have this problem again) would be to install node version manager (nvm). This involves a few steps to set up, but it'll install every thing - node, npm and all the global npm modules, to your user's folder, not the system level folders like /usr/local.

This becomes much easier to manage, and it's easy to nuke a node version and start anew. What's more, you get the ability to install multiple node version, and switch between them easily for a particular project or for all projects.
