vue-cli: Installing @vue/cli globally using npm causes errors when listing npm global modules

Version

4.2.3

Reproduction link

https://pastebin.com/5ciYS1uq

Environment info

System:
    OS: Windows 10 
    CPU: (8) x64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8550U CPU @ 1.8GHz
Binaries:
    Node: 12.16.1
    Yarn: 1.15.2
    npm: 6.13.4
npmGlobalPackages:
   @vue/cli: Not Found

Steps to reproduce

1. Run npm install -g @vue/cli.
2. Run npm list -g --depth=0.

What is expected?

Running npm list -g --depth=0 shouldn’t show errors. Also, running vue info should show see that @vue/cli is installed globally.

What is actually happening?

Running npm install -g @vue/cli displays multiple warnings. Then, running npm list -g --depth=0 lists the global packages fine but then shows errors. Also, running vue info shows @vue/cli: not found, although npm list -g --depth=0 lists it.

---

Running vue create hello-world after the above installation works fine, and then cding into the folder and running npm run serve also works fine, but I’d like to know what to do with those errors.
