Trying to install expo-cli with node using the command npm install -g expo-cli
but I've got this error:

I installed expo on my iPhone and scanned the QR code in the browser then I saw something in my mac terminal as if something was installing. When I manually ran the command npm install -g expo-cli I saw the same thing. Does that mean the tools were already installed the first time?
The installation failed, since the user running it cannot write to the global node_modules located at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/. If you're absolutely sure you want to install this package globally, you should use a user that can write there, such as root.
