Ignite: EACCES on generator-react-native-ignite block and i'm using sudo.

Hi, thank you for this project.

I'm facing issues when installing react-native-ignite with sudo npm install -g react-native-ignite

It seems the first part of react-native-ignite runs fine but when it starts to run the post install script npm i -g generator-react-native-ignite something goes terribly wrong and i get this stack trace.

> npm i -g generator-react-native-ignite

I tried to install sudo npm i -g generator-react-native-ignite alone, installing it worked but running $ ignite I still get command not found and installing still brings errors.

I also tried to create the folder it's failing to create, made it then installed react-native-ignite again but same error.

I'm running Archlinux OS and the stacktrace goes on by saying i need to update my node but i'm using nodejs: 7.1.0, npm: 3.10.9 and my system is updated.

I tried installing it with sudo yarn global add react-native-ignite it installed successfully but when i tried running ignite nothing ran, checking where it installs with yarn global bin it showed /usr/bin and i saw the ignite file in there.
Ran file /usr/bin/ignite found out it's a broken link to /usr/lib/node_modules/react-native-ignite/index.js which isn't there. :(

I also found this solution here didn't work, should i panic now?

Have you gone through these steps?

If so, maybe we can screen share when I return from vacation

@GantMan Thank you for your suggestions.

The prefix solution worked magic!
