    It's pretty clear - your login doesn't have permission to delete that file. Perhaps it was created with administrator rights - If you run the install command as administrator it might work.

This is a known issue and lots of npm users have the same problem. My experience is to downgrade my local npm version to 5.0.3 and it worked. For more details, please see this github post: https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/18380
