| Using sudo is a great way to make things happen, but most people neglect to understand everything that happens when sudo is used. Particularly with npm, and npm modules, using sudo can result in things being performed by root which the user doesn't want to have be performed by root, such as file creation or use of protected ports. Basically, the "use sudo" advice falls flat on its face (perhaps after stumbling and staring into the sun for a moment) where nvm/npm/node is concerned. – bschlueter Aug 1 '16 at 22:43 |
