Run this: sudo npm install -g autosave. I ran into the same problem as you, tried my solution, and it works!

You should probably re-try your npm install command as the root user; prepend sudo to your command and try again.

Your regular user account won't have permissions to modify content in /usr/local by default. It would probably be a mistake to configure permissions to try to allow your regular user account to modify content in /usr/local.
