angular 5 update to 6

In the process of updating my version of Angular from 5 to 6 something I did wrong and ended up getting the following errors:

npm WARN checkPermissions Missing write access to / usr / local / lib /node_modules/@angular/cli
npm WARN checkPermissions Missing write access to / usr / local / lib / node_modules / @ angular
npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: node-pre-gyp@^0.9.0 (node_modules / @ angular / cli / node_modules / fsevents / node_modules / node-pre-gyp):

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:

In any case how can I delete it and reinstall it?

I have Node 8.11.1 and my sistem is MacOS High Sierra 10.13.4

Any idea how I can solve it?

I think, you're missing sudo.

Try this.

sudo npm uninstall -g @angular/cli
sudo npm cache clean
sudo npm i -g @angular/cli

or, delete all npm module (global)

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm

...and now reinstall node.js.
