@filipesilva can you help? Great powers come with some responsibilities.

This seems like a problem with your node/npm and not with Angular CLI.

Please have a look at the fixing npm permissions page, common errors page, npm issue tracker, or open a new issue in that issue tracker if the problem you are experiencing isn't known.
