I am sure this issue related to permission of directory.
what npm do its installed in the user directory
like your Ubuntu /home/username/

so you need set permission for .npm
here is the command which you can run in your terminal

sudo chown -R 'sagar' ~/.npm


sagar is your username for ubuntu
username is your ubuntu username
that's all now you can install npm succesfully
