npm i –g tries to install to /-g folder location

For some reason if I do this: 

npm i –g karma-cli

I get this: 

npm ERR! addLocal Could not install /Users/me/foo/–g

No idea what is happening, this used to work well.

NPM thinks you are trying to install a folder called -g. You might try using the expanded form:

npm install --global karma-cli

I would argue it is a bug in npm's command line evaluation of your invocation, but that is not for me to decide.

Use --global instead. For some reason this works.
