Installing electron globally on Ubuntu with NPM

Question

Attempting to resolve this question and getting the following error when installing electron globally with NPM:

    ole@mki:~/angular-electron$ sudo npm inst         


        

Answer 1

As npm proposes:

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

By doing it this was you keep your global npm packages scoped within your user account, instead of shared between all the users in the computer. Even if you're the only user, this is a recommended behavior. :-)
