I am trying to install sockpuppet with docker-compose python:3.7 container and the initial_sockpuppet command fails because it doesn't have access to the global npm install location.
When I run the command python manage.py initial_sockpuppet I get the following error:
Command 'npm install -g --force add-project-script' returned non-zero exit status 243.
From reading other issues it sounds like this package is only temporarily installed then removed. Is it possible to have this command be run non-globally in order to accommodate more installation situations?

I ended up working around the issue by following the steps here: https://docs.npmjs.com/resolving-eacces-permissions-errors-when-installing-packages-globally to set the npm global module location inside my user directory.
Expected behavior
Sockpuppet should install even when the user does not have access to the global npm directory.
