Node npm install -g express generator

I get the following message after npm install -g express generator install. I have tried everything I know how to fixed this. Is there another way for me to install this without getting this error message?

Use sudo before npm install.Because you have to give permission to write in /usr/lib/ when you are installing globally. so use sudo npm install express-generator -g.
