    Maybe you need sudo to have access to sudo? o0

    Check your SELinux policies

    @Damian right, I totally forgot SELinux could do that. It wasn't the case here, but thanks for reminding me to check next time.

    Sounds like it's shitty error trapping that assumes any failed attempt to access a resource is a permissions error. Seen that too many times…

    Adding this line to ~/.npmrc :
    prefix = ${HOME}/.npm-packages
    Will let you install global packages without sudo (and permission issues)

    @vincetrot I would also have to add that to my PATH and reboot, which I am far too lazy to do.
    But thanks, I'll try to remember this for the next time I'm setting up my system.
