Hey @borisgotz https://github.com/borisgotz do you also experience this when installing the CLI without sudo? Typically it is not recommended to install packages from npm with sudo. If you are experiencing a permissions issue installing global npm packages without sudo please refer to this npm doc https://docs.npmjs.com/resolving-eacces-permissions-errors-when-installing-packages-globally
