Missing access to node_modules/nan?

Question

I'm attempting to install this project globally using npm i -g .

These are the steps:

git clone https://github.com/superflycss/cli
cd cli
npm i
npm i -g

The result is:

ole@mki:~/cli$ npm i -g
npm WARN checkPermissions Missing write access to ~/cli/node_modules/nan
npm ERR! path /home/ole/cli/node_modules/nan

Thoughts?

If I try to cd node_modules/nan there is no such directory ... so that's one thing. I'm not sure why it's trying to access that?

Deleted all the contents of my local ~/.npm-packages directory and reinstalled and now it works:

cd ~/.npm-packages
rm -fr *
cd ~/cli
npm i -g
