in case a user wants to install on their home directory rather than on /usr/local/bin... say $HOME/.local/ to use for bin/, share/, etc paths...

Right now we just install wherever npm installs, but there is a --prefix flag to npm that we can pass through. Good suggestion.

maxtaco commented 10 years ago

As a temporary workaround, you can set NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX and npm will install keybase and libs under that prefix.
