Apache Superset unable to create plugin

Question

I'm trying to create a custom plugin for my superset, but when when I run npm install -g yo command in my terminal, I get the following error:

/usr/lib/node_modules/yo/node_modules/conf/index.js:128
                        throw err;
                        ^

Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/root/.config/insight-nodejs/insight-yo.json'

}

Any idea what's causing this?
