   '/usr/local/lib/`
   
   is generally a path reserved for root, and is what I think is likely the source of the permission issue. Cordova is likely have been installed root (e.g. `sudo npm install -g cordova`) which isn't recommended, as it means cordova will need to be root in order to copy files from node_modules and do most of it's operations.
   
   Instead, NPM should be [configured](https://docs.npmjs.com/resolving-eacces-permissions-errors-when-installing-packages-globally#manually-change-npms-default-directory) to use a global directory owned by your own user account, so you can use NPM to install packages globally without using `sudo`.
   
   Personally, I'd recommend using [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) (Node Version Manager) which installs local versions of a node at a version your choice. You could have multiple versions installed and easily switch between them, and it configures things in a way by default where you don't need `sudo`.
