Comment(by ciserlohn@…):
I can't reproduce the behaviour you described - neither using version
1.1.0-2 nor using the current version 1.1.0-3_1. When looking at the
output you provided I noticed that npm tried to install the package pubnub
globally, even though you didn't specified the '-g'/'--globally' option.
Perhaps you have enabled global installs by default? Please check your
configuration:
{{{
$ npm get global
}}}
The output should be:
{{{
false
}}}
If its
{{{
true
}}}
change you configuration.
Use
{{{
npm help config
}}}
to get an overview of the various configuration sources.
Apart from that using sudo is mandatory if you install packages globally
as it potentially affect all users on your system.
