Can you try this?

npm i -g docsify-cli --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root

[trusktr]

Not sure how your system is configured, but normally people install globally using sudo (builtin command in Linux and macOS) for admin/root permissions:

sudo npm i -g docsify-cli

Can you try that? Not sure how else to help you yet. Something is different on your system than normal, it seems. Let us know if those alternatives work.
