The solutions given there all seem to focus on getting the proper authority via su.  I want to play with node on a hosted virtual machine where I don't have access to sudo  (pythonanywhere.com).\r\n\r\nIs it possible to configure npm such that it doesn't try to install under /usr/local/lib/modules but instead just installs the package locally, for just me?\r\n\r\nThanks! ;)"}}
