This is what happens when I try to install it:

% sudo npm install -g dat-store
/usr/local/bin/dat-store -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/dat-store/bin.js

I think this is a problem with NPM. Do any of the answers on this stackoverflow issue help? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29468404/gyp-warn-eacces-user-root-does-not-have-permission-to-access-the-dev-dir

Thank you! I installed the latest version of nodejs, learned how to use npm properly, and now I have dat-store running!
