Error while creating react-native app in linux

Question

I have installed node and checked it as the node js docs suggested by doing node -v and npm version and I got the same expected results as they showed in the docs

But I couldnt run npm install -g react-native-cli
This is the error that I get :

You need to either use sudo before that command or chmod your /usr/lib/node_modules — Axnyff

You need to use

sudo chmod +rwx /usr/lib/node_modules

Or run your npm install as sudo but that's never a good idea.
