Description
```
sudo bash
npm install -g elm-format
```
generates the following error:
`ERR Error extracting https://github.com/avh4/elm-format/releases/download/0.8.0/elm-format-0.19-0.8.0-mac-x64.tgz - Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/elm-format/unpacked_bin'
`
with --unsafe-perm it works.

Research direction
Reproduce the installation with `sudo bash` followed by `npm install -g elm-format`, then compare it with the working `--unsafe-perm` invocation. Trace extraction of the mentioned macOS release archive and verify that installation succeeds without the workaround while preserving the reported global install location.
