Why I cannot do it. Recently nothing works.

Don't use sudo npm install, fix your permissions: docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions — baao

What version of node and npm are you running? You need at least node version 6.10, and npm 3.10. — R. Richards

Run the command sudo rm -rf ~/.npm to clear npm cache. Then try running the command with sudo npm i @angular/cli again
