Answer 1

Thanks to boirslav popov.
As he mentioned in his answer it has worked for some of them ie,
sudo npm install netlify-cli -g
But sadly it didn't work for me :(
For those, if the above command didn't work can follow the attached answer :D
Answer
I followed this answer
i.e,
sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm=true netlify-cli

Answer 2

See this: https://answers.netlify.com/t/errors-with-netlify-cli/26842
Your user does not have sufficient permissions.

Answer 3

Im using a Mac.
So I actually had to go into my library folder and manually delete the netlify folder.
I then reinstalled the netlify cli via brew:
brew reinstall netlify-cli
This way you dont get all the permissions errors. In general this is seems like the best way to do things on mac when dealing with a cli.
It would be good to know why Mac gets mad at just using the global npm install tho.
