Im typically the owner of my linux system or computer. I had some error while writting

npm install -g firebase-tools

and got EACSSES types of error. Then I tried the same thing with sudo npm install -g firebase-tools

and it sorted out.

This is a known issue with some installers, here's the documentation on fixing npm permissions.
If you're curious to learn more, the npm developers have recently talked about it on JavaScript Jabber #174.

I have researched on google the main issue was npm installation. I think, does not require "sudo" for npm installation.

The -g flag to node does a global install on the machine. As such it requires permissions to write at least to /usr/lib.

So if you want to install with the -g option, do so as an administrative user, usually root. Sudo is a good way of doing that.

If you are not the administrator of the machine or are otherwise trying to install in your local directory, remove the -g flag.

If you are not the administrator and need it installed globally, contact your system administrator.
