So I figured out a way to make it work on Elastic Beanstalk:

Put this in `.ebextensions`:

commands:
01_enable_rootaccess:
command: echo Defaults:root \!requiretty >> /etc/sudoers
02_no-cert:
command: sudo /opt/elasticbeanstalk/node-install/node-v0.10.10-linux-x64/bin/npm config set ca ""

Worked like a charm in my case.

just to be clear, there should be a file in the folder .ebextensions with that content.

eg.
echo 'commands:
01_enable_rootaccess:
command: echo Defaults:root !requiretty >> /etc/sudoers
02_no-cert:
command: sudo /opt/elasticbeanstalk/node-install/node-v0.10.10-linux-x64/bin/npm config set ca ""' > $projectroot.ebextensions\01-FixNPM.config

files in .ebextensions are applied in alphabetical order, so make sure you dont have other ones needing that patch.

Sorry, hope you can maybe help. I am still having issues with this... Tried all of the following: https://gist.github.com/Samnsparky/9294533
