running npm install in new app folder installs local version of roc #130

Why have a local roc version when you already have been asked to install one globally? I would prefer to have one local only and not updating my system using "sudo" when installing roc.

Hey! The global one is for convenience when newing or initing new projects.

The local one will always be preferred when available, even when triggered through the global instance. Roc makes sure of this. It prints a notice when detecting a local instance which is used instead, in a project.

Not directly related to this issue, but it is often preferred to set up npm so that no sudo is required for "global" (-g) installs. This is done by making it "global" to your particular user, and not entire multiuser system which resides in locations that require root.
