sudo npm i -g meta fails to install

Here’s the log: 2018-02-05T18_26_42_802Z-debug.log

I’m able to git clone that repo without problems so not sure what the error msg about permission is about.

I made this edit to the package.json and it was able to install (Note: I am a novice to npm, so not sure this is the correct fix but it helped me move forward).

Finally figured out what was going on for me with this. It was a firewall issues. On my network, default port for git 9418 was blocked which is why when I switched to https the problem when away.
