node-pre-gyp WARN Using needle for node-pre-gyp https download

Any idea. Why this error?

You’re mixing up a warning and an error that have nothing in common from this log. The actual error is you don’t have write permissions to the destination folder. If you are running as root, try adding --unsafe-perm

I had the same issue on my mac, I noticed at the end of the warnings and errors there a line saying: You have not agreed to the Xcode license agreements, please run 'xcodebuild -license' (for user-level acceptance) or 'sudo xcodebuild -license' (for system-wide acceptance) from within a Terminal window to review and agree to the Xcode license agreements.

So I ran sudo xcodebuild -license, agreed to the terms, then re-ran ng new and it was OK.
