EACCES error using Yeoman to install angular

Question

I tried running

yo angular --coffee --minsafe

but I get this error

   Error: EACCES, permission denied '/Users/Basil/.config/configstore/insight-yo.yml'
        at Object.fs.openSync (fs.js:427:18)

I have checked the issues on Github and seen npm / yeoman install generator-angular without sudo but can't seem to get it to work

node v0.10.17 npm v1.2.10

find / -name 'yeoman'

/Users/Basil/.node/node_modules/.bin/yeoman /Users/Basil/.node/node_modules/yeoman /Users/Basil/.node/node_modules/yeoman/bin/yeoman /Users/Basil/.node/node_modules/yeoman/node_modules/yeoman-generators/lib/generators/yeoman /Users/Basil/.npm/yeoman /Users/Basil/.npm/yeoman/0.9.6/package/bin/yeoman /Users/Basil/.npm/yeoman-generators/0.9.5/package/lib/generators/yeoman

I was able to fix this issue with this:

Sudo chown Basil /Users/Basil/.config/configstore/update-notifier-yo.yml
