Unable to test on the browser, as new project creation fails. error.log

Problem seems to be with the Fedora 29. On my Windows 10, machine, same version of angule cli, I am able to create new angular project.

This seems like a problem with 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.
