Error when install Cordova on Mac

I was trying to install Cordova by using npm, but it took more than one hour, and then I gave up. Later I tried to follow the instruction from http://cordova.apache.org/, and the error occurred when I executed npm install -g ios-deploy.

Here is what I get in command line:

YangHenrydeMacBook-Pro:~ Yong$ sudo npm install -g ios-deploy npm WARN lifecycle [email protected]~preinstall: cannot run in wd %s %s (wd=%s) [email protected] ./src/check_reqs.js && xcodebuild /usr/local/lib/node_modules/.staging/ios-deploy-fbfd9f76b9a8909271fae167aab47715

Could anyone give me some hints? Thanks!

For completeness sake, @Sam003's answer is right, using the --unsafe-perm=true is the recommended-by-node way to install modules under MacOS 10.11 and later.

From an nmp install:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!! WARNING: You are on OS X 10.11 El Capitan or greater, you may need to add the
!!!! WARNING:   `--unsafe-perm=true` flag when running `npm install`
!!!! WARNING:   or else it will fail.
