Answer 1

If you have OS X 10.11 El Capitan or greater, then execute the npm command with the --unsafe-perm flag, and then it should work:

npm install -g ios-deploy --unsafe-perm=true

Answer 2

This may help you...

npm install -g ios-deploy --unsafe-perm=true

               or

npm install -g ios-deploy --allow-root
