Use one of these techniques to install node and npm without having to sudo. Discussed in more detail at http://joyeur.com/2010/12/10/installing-node-and-npm/ Note: npm >=0.3 is *safer* when using sudo.
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc

mkdir ~/local
mkdir ~/node-latest-install
cd ~/node-latest-install
curl http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz | tar xz --strip-components=1
./configure --prefix=~/local
make install # ok, fine, this step probably takes more than 30 seconds...

Generalized promise retryer
"use strict";
// `f` is assumed to sporadically fail with `TemporaryNetworkError` instances.
// If one of those happens, we want to retry until it doesn't.
// If `f` fails with something else, then we should re-throw: we don't know how to handle that, and it's a
// sign something went wrong. Since `f` is a good promise-returning function, it only ever fulfills or rejects;
// it has no synchronous behavior (e.g. throwing).
function dontGiveUp(f) {
return f().then(
undefined, // pass through success
