Running scripts from the internet with root/administrator access is a bad idea. You should change your default installation path of npm modules to a different folder.

On linux you should use

echo prefix=${HOME}/.localnpm >> ~/.npmrc

This will make npm install everything to ~/.localnpm/bin and ~/.localnpm/lib

An installation can run arbitrary scripts and running it with sudo can be extremely dangerous.

Change the owner of the files in your /usr/local folder to the current user:

sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local

Then run the install

npm install -g cordova ionic
