8 years ago Hey Colin,
I'll have to take a look into our post install script to see why it's not letting you install it globally. You can achieve the same functionality if you use 'npm link' which makes the module available globally, but instead of copying over everything to your global node_modules directory it creates a symlink that points to the original. If you do it that way, the changes you make to the original base theme will immediately be available to the other themes.
