Cannot run most cordova commands without using sudo

I have installed npm to setup Ionic & Cordova - and I have used sudo for this?

My question is when I run the following command without sudo I get an error:

cordova emulate ios

The error is an 

EACCES, permission denied ..... /ios.json

Am I right that if I cannot use this 'basic' cordova command without running sudo my installation has been screwed up somehow?

I did the following on the terminal to allow me to run the commands without using sudo (this might help someone)

sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/Documents/mobileapps

This meant the cordova emulate ios command now runs! finally!
