I had this error when trying to use npm... so I tried this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/24404451/3915033
1: No way to uninstall it with apt-get, I had to do it myself with multiple
sudo rm -R
(couldn't uninstall npm neither)
2:
- Installed nvm in a folder owned by me
- group with me and the other user that need to use node
- permissions are rwxrwsr-x everywhere
which, I think, should allow everything to work for me and the other user of node
3: did
nvm install 0.10
4: no way to use npm !
tried:
npm -g install sails
which gave:
0 info it worked if it ends with ok

I suspect that maybe my removing of node and npm was not complete...
I've tried using nvm, npm, etc as root and no problem (it was problematic before i made all this) I think we'll have to work on node as root but I'd prefer if it worked without it
(Sorry if my english is bad)
