Cannot Install new Version of Expo cli

I possibly have the latest SDK and i am using Android. The Problem occurring is that I cannot update my Expo cli. I was using version 3.4.1 and green bar said that 3.8.0 is available.
As i run the command ‘expo install -g expo-cli’, it give the same error always of finalize webpack and it shows as:

npm ERR! code EPERM
npm ERR! errno -4048

Please resolve this issue and it happens mostly when i update the expo version.

Hi

The EPERM errors look like permission errors. e.g. you installed expo-cli as an Administrator and now you are trying to upgrade it as a normal user?
