Can't install CLI on Ubuntu using npm or yarn

A couple of people have reported this and now I have replicated it. If you install NodeJs via a package manager (like these instructions here)

You get this error:

brent@badger ~/Projects/js $ npm install -g reaction-cli
npm WARN checkPermissions Missing write access to /usr/lib/node_modules
npm ERR! path /usr/lib/node_modules
npm ERR! code EACCES

brent@badger ~/Projects/js $ 

This is probably what happens when you sudo apt-get node and then try to install the CLI.

If installed via yarn it just says that the application can't be found.

This could just be something where we need to be more specific in the install instructions? Installing any global package after installing with sudo (like npm install -g yo) also fails.

Closing. Updating installation instructions to include fixing permissions after installing via package manager.
