Solution

  • 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
