node-gyp permissions issue with installing latest version (2.5.2)
See original GitHub issueOn trying to install the latest version via sudo npm install -g npm-register (Ubuntu 14.04, Node 8.5.0) it hangs with:
**gyp WARN EACCES user "root" does not have permission to access the dev dir "/usr/lib/node_modules/npm-register/node_modules/bcrypt/.node-gyp/8.5.0"
**
This error continues to repeat indefinitely. Had to do a npm config set unsafe-perm true before I could complete the install.
