Missing write access to /usr/local/lib/node_modules #22
Description
When doing a fresh install on macOS 11.0.1 (Big Sur), a permissions error is encountered writing to /usr/local/lib/node_modules (which is owned by root).
I found this note but am unsure of how to find or modify the Dockerfile:

Global npm dependencies
If you need to install global npm dependencies, it is recommended to place those dependencies in the non-root user directory. To achieve this, add the following line to your Dockerfile
ENV NPM_CONFIG_PREFIX=/home/node/.npm-global
ENV PATH=$PATH:/home/node/.npm-global/bin # optionally if you want to run npm global bin without specifying path
% npm install -g git+https://[email protected]/imarc/ops
