You can use this step 

1. install latest node js from https://nodejs.org/en/
2.Run CMD with "Run as Administrator"
3.npm install -g angular-cli

It will run

I solved the issue by rolling back to an earlier version of node

  1. nvm ls (to see versions of node installed)

  2. nvm use *.** (choose version to use)

In my case , Upgrading npm on Windows requires manual steps to ensure that PowerShell/CMD find the new version of npm. This is a small tool made by Microsoft DX engineers with for npm and Node, reducing the process to a simple command. For more detail view npm-windows-upgrade

I got a solution for this question (at least in my case). The url for the registry was out dated. Please see this link: Can't install any packages in Node.js using "npm install"

Thank you.
