I had same problem, but solved it by running sudo npm install -g elm --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root from this issue in electron

ubuntu 16.04 node -v v7.10.0 npm -v 5.3.0

I also encountered this issue recently. The problem I think is that the default installation of NodeJS in Ubuntu 16.04 installs "nodejs" rather than "node", to resolve this, run this command on CLI:

sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node

After this, try to install elm as usual. Hope this helps :)
