Failed to install ndb

See original GitHub issue

Steps to reproduce

jsmith@jsmith-hp1:~/projs/$ sudo npm install -g ndb
/usr/bin/ndb -> /usr/lib/node_modules/ndb/ndb.js

> deasync@0.1.13 install /usr/lib/node_modules/ndb/node_modules/deasync
> node ./build.js

`linux-x64-node-8` exists; testing
Binary is fine; exiting

> node-pty-prebuilt@0.7.3 install /usr/lib/node_modules/ndb/node_modules/node-pty-prebuilt
> prebuild-install || node scripts/install.js

prebuild-install WARN install EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/usr/lib/node_modules/ndb/node_modules/node-pty-prebuilt/build'
gyp ERR! configure error

Tell us about your environment:

ndb version: n/a (initial installation)
Platform / OS version: ubuntu 14.04 64bit.
Node.js version: 8.4.0

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Seeing the error mkdir '/usr/lib/node_modules/ndb/node_modules/node-pty-prebuilt/build', I tried to manually created directory ‘/usr/lib/node_modules/ndb/node_modules/node-pty-prebuilt/’ but I got the same error when I tried to install it again.

What is the expected result?

What happens instead?
