EACCES error when installing via npm #245

I am getting an error when running the following command:

$ sudo npm install -g elm-test

Seems an inconsistency in the target platform (linux vs mac). Note I am running on linux.

npm version reports the following:

When you npm install -g elm-test you're installing https://github.com/rtfeldman/node-test-runner, which includes the elm-test CLI tool for running elm-test tests, whereas this repo is for the Elm library for writing Elm tests (I agree this can be slightly confusing :slightly_smiling_face:). So you may get better help if you log your issue there.
