See Fixing the Composer Global Command.

I would recommend something like:

COMPOSER_BIN_DIR=/usr/local/bin composer -n --working-dir=/usr/local/share/drush require  drush/drush "^8.3.0"

This presumes, though, that /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/share/drush exist and are writable. You might also recommend installing to $HOME/.composer/vendor/bin and $HOME/.composer/global, or perhaps just point at cgr.

Thanks @greg-1-anderson

I think that is good advice (very interesting reading). I'll take some time to re-write the README.md to reflect this.
