Chown your node_modules and _do not run as sudo_.

NPM will refuse installing native modules with sudo.

Hi agathver: I am running into the same problem. I tried running "npm install"(without sudo) and I still got the same error. How would I use chown properly?

BBTEST:TestingTemplater David$ npm install

NPM runs install scripts as user "nobody" if it's started by root. I think you will need to chown the node_modules directory to your user.

_--allow-root_ flag helps me

I also had this error but after running this command :
sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/.npm
everything seems working fine and I think it's a more stable solution.
