Adicionalmente eu corro tambémnpm install typescript (sem -g), mas não funciona ou existe outra maneira de instalar o texto datilografado? Meu sistema operacional é o Linux Ubuntu 16.04. Eu raramente usonode e não sabe como corrigir esse problema.

Minha pergunta é: exatamente, quais diretórios precisam dessa permissão?
