I am not sure why are you installing polymer-cli-1.5.7.tgz when you installed polymer-cli already in the first step? But not globally, you are missing -g switch in first step. What are you trying to achieve, which procedure do you follow? The issue could be related to permissions because you don't have rights to access that path, but you could try running console with administrator privileges. It is better to explain what exactly you want to setup so we can give you a better answer :)
