###Important Security Note
Node comes with the npm package manager. It is strongly encouraged that you should not to do package management with sudo. Packages can run arbitrary scripts which makes them a potential security risk.
It is recommended that you give your user account access to the /usr/lib/node_modules folder instead:
sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local
sudo chown -R $USER /usr/lib/node_modules

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/{share/man,bin,lib/node,include/node}
sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/{share/man,bin,lib/node,include/node}

That sets your user account as the owner of the /usr/lib/node_modules directory, so that you can just issue normal commands in there. Then you won’t ever have to use sudo when you install node or issue npm commands.
###Set up npm directory
npm config set prefix ~/npm

Then add $HOME/npm/bin to $PATH by appending the following to .bashrc
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/npm/bin"
