I see exactly the same error on ubuntu system.

$ node --version v8.9.4 npm --version 5.6.0
Yes... tried with sudo
$sudo npm install -g @ibm-functions/shell /usr/local/bin/fsh -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@ibm-functions/shell/bin/fsh
thanks for the confirmation @gpoul
can you provide the nodejs version you have installed?
[gpoul@localhost ~]$ node --version
v8.9.4
[gpoul@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa |grep nodejs
nodejs-8.9.4-2.fc27.x86_64
if someone is facing this issue, they can try with these extra args --unsafe-perm=true in npm install command. It should work.
npm install -g @ibm-functions/shell --unsafe-perm=true
Thank you. We also now offer direct download links via the Releases tab on the GitHub page.
Same error on MacOS, needed this to install:
sudo npm install -g @ibm-functions/shell --unsafe-perm=true
