Mongo-hacker error while installing

Question

I am trying to install the Mongo-hacker on my pc, but getting an error that I cannot unravel. Follows what the terminal returns me:

gabriel@Constantine:~$ npm install -g mongo-hacker

In the attempt with super user npm returns me other errors:

To install packages from npm globally (the -g that you used) it is necessary to elevate yourself to super user. Use the sudo for that reason:

sudo npm install -g mongo-hacker
