Angular CLI on HTTPS - can't install CI as root

I need to have my angular app over https port 443. To do that, I need to run ng as root. However, I can not get Angular CLI to install as root. Any suggestions? 

root@develop:~# n v9.4.0

     install : node-v9.4.0
       mkdir : /root/n/n/versions/node/9.4.0
       fetch : https://nodejs.org/dist/v9.4.0/node-v9.4.0-linux-x64.tar.gz
######################################################################### 100.0%
   installed : v9.4.0

root@develop:~# npm install -g @angular/cli
/root/n/bin/ng -> /root/n/lib/node_modules/@angular/cli/bin/ng

> @angular/[email protected] postinstall /root/n/lib/node_modules/@angular/cli
> node ./bin/postinstall/script.js

sh: 1: node: Permission denied

By default npm takes some steps to avoid running scripts as root. You can override this with --unsafe-perm:

# npm install -g --unsafe-perm @angular/cli

(As an aside: you do not need to install angular as root to run your eventual service as root, but that is a longer answer with more context needed.)
