how could i solve that?
Note: i have installed Node.js
i think it just about using sudo before the command line:
sudo npm install -g firebase-tools
thank you!

what's the cause of this error, and how do I fix it. I'm trying to install NPM and Nodejs. Please, quick response needed. This is truly pulling my hairs. I never knew it is this hard to deploy a meteor app because of all the dependencies.

If you run your initial command with user permissions (which is not clear from your answer - please print the command next time), then it needs to be able to access (read, write, execute) other directories with the same permissions.
You can change ownership with:
chown -R $USER <directory>
where in your case <directory> is /home/john and -R is for recursive, so it will change all subdirectories too, which is exactly what you want.
See here for more details.
I forked and changed an npm module today (node-cldr). Now I want to test if it still works with my meteor package (nemo64:translator). I found out that the less package has a way of referencing a commit on github. That did not work in my case. This is what happens if i try to run meteor test-packages ./:

From your output it seems to me that you are not in the Ghost install directory. Could you please try to cd to the directory where the source of Ghost is located and run the command again?
