The error says to run to command as root/administrator, so you could try doing a sudo on the command. That said, hitting it with the sudo hammer would probably just continue your problems.
When you get an eaccess error, on a non-global installation, it's worth looking at your personal NPM directories. Sometimes I've gotten that problem and found that there are some root-owned modules somewhere. It installs stuff in node_modules, but caches stuff in ~/.npm - you might want to do a chown -R on that directory to whatever your actual user is. This tends to happen when you accidentally do a sudo npm install on a non-global installation, but can probably happen for other reasons too. In my opinion, and I hope you don't take this the wrong way, your questions indicate that you are probably a novice using the terminal and command line in OSX. While restarting from scratch may make it work this time, I strongly recommend you spend some time learning how it all works. I know a lot of people don't want to muck around in the weeds of UNIX, but with a system like this, there's a lot of moving parts to get stuck, and knowing how it all hangs together should give you a less brittle approach to solving problems.
