Unable to install gauge with npm

[Luke Simmons]

I've followed the instructions verbatim to install gauge from "https://gauge.org/getting-started-guide/quick-install/" and I'm unable to install it.

I'm starting from a fresh GCP Debian instance. After installing the NodeJS PPM and then following the instructions, "gauge" is installing a blank file under /usr/lib/node_modules/@getgauge/cli/bin.  I'm getting the following file permission error. This is all run as root.

root@instance-1:~# npm -v

root@instance-1:~# npm install -g npm@latest

HI,

This seems to be an issue with the npm installer. I could see the same behaviour on docker as well:

sudo docker run -it node:8-stretch /bin/bash
root@ef621c6fa14b:/# node -v
v8.16.1
root@ef621c6fa14b:/# npm update -g npm
/usr/local/bin/npm -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js
/usr/local/bin/npx -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npx-cli.js
+ n...@6.11.2
added 61 packages from 18 contributors, removed 18 packages and updated 69 packages in 29s
root@ef621c6fa14b:/# npm i -g @getgauge/cli
/usr/local/bin/gauge -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@getgauge/cli/bin/gauge

> @getgauge/c...@1.0.6 install /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@getgauge/cli
> node ./src/index.js

Hi,
Could you please trying installing with perm `--unsafe-perm`?
Example: `npm install -g @getgauge/cli --unsafe-perm`
