Howto install globally npm packages without sudo, on Linux

[sleeper]

Just a quick description on how to properly install (e.g. without changing access rights) globally npm packages on Linux.

Inspired from a SO answer.

Thanks man! I don't use Linux so can't comment on the technical aspects, but looks good otherwise.

@passy @btford would you be able to review?

I just used it on a newly created VM (thanks to vagrant ;))

Thank you, @sleeper! This is fantastic. We really needed something like this.

@passy That's not so fantastic: I based this on the SO answer .. and I needed it as well, but it'll be easier to find now ;)

Superb. Thanks :)
