Rule 1: do not use sudo when you are using hexo
Fix:

sudo chown -R `whoami` /usr/local/lib/node_modules

and never run sudo npm install -g hexo-cli, sudo hexo init blog again.

@JLHwung is right,Thanks. My operation:

sudo chown -R `whoami` /usr/local/lib/node_modules

and then:

npm install hexo-cli -g

the result is ok ,hexo installed:

$ npm install hexo-cli -g
/usr/local/bin/hexo -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/hexo-cli/bin/hexo

I arrived here after having this problem with npm and want to provide the correct answer. Never use sudo to install modules. Running sudo allows anything to happen which is very dangerous. And simply changing ownership of the folder which is outside your home directory will potentially cause trouble if you ever change to a different user account. What you want to do is configure npm so that it uses a directory within your home directory. See the docs on the npm website for the current instructions.

[re-imagined]

try this
sudo npm install --unsafe-perm --verbose -g hexo
