There seems to be a problem with npm copyfiles and the nodemodules.. Does anyone know whats going on?

Thanks

Hi @ajnudnyy,

I would recommend to use nvm (https://github.com/creationix/nvm) to manage your node.js installations. This tool makes it possible to use multiple versions of node.js on the same system without problems. Also, unlike the "original" node installer for linux and osx, you will be able to run npm install -g without sudo. Permission-Problems are much easier to handle this way.

Please feel free to reopen this issue if you have any further issues with this.
