If you are using Windows you can solve this problem editing the ".npmrc" adding this value: prefix=${APPDATA}\npm.

You can to find this file in "c:\Users\YOURUSERHERE". To view this file you need to display the hidden items.

After doing this, simply install the Angular and be happy.

Hello aready found an answer to my question, instead of running npm install @angular/cli just use npm install -g @angular/cli. Note the difference is that you need to install angular cli globally. thanks and hope anybody with same error finds luck.
