curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_7.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential
> Done.

> NPM Permissions Tweaks

mkdir ~/.npm-global
npm config set prefix '~/.npm-global'
export PATH=~/.npm-global/bin:$PATH
source ~/.profile
> Done.

> NPM Global Packages Tweaks
> Prevents more fuck-ups w/ globally-installed packages.
npm get prefix
> Copy the output you get from 'npm get prefix'
sudo nano ~/.profile
> scroll down, find PATH, append :ThePrefixYouGotAbove/bin
> ie: if 'npm get prefix' gives me '/home/YourUser/.npm-global' 
> and my PATH is... PATH="$HOME/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
> it should become: PATH="$HOME/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH:/home/YourUser/.npm-global/bin"
> CTRL + X + Y (saves it)
source ~/.profile
> Done.

> Install PM2 (Optional)
npm install pm2 -g
> Should run smoothly if you followed all of the above steps.
