Try this to install expo client globally:

npm i -g expo-cli

In order to install it locally run:

npm i expo-cli

or

yarn add expo-cli

It looks like you're running into permission issues. If you are installing npm-packages then it might possible that you are getting an EACCES error when trying to install a package globally. This means you do not have permission to write to the directories npm uses to store global packages and commands.

Please follow this thread:

Error: EACCES: permission denied, access '/usr/local/lib/node_modules'
