I keep getting this error when the towerjs post install script runs

npm ERR! Error: EACCES, open '/home/claire/.npm/e18f6569-thub-com-viatropos-coffeecup-git.lock'

I've tried sudo, and -g but I think it's because the post install script doesn't include sudo. I can install coffeecup on its own, but the tower sub install fails.

Login with root to finish installation correctly.

For Ubuntu:

  1. Set root password if it not defined yet:

    sudo passwd

  2. Change user to root

    su

  3. Install tower

    npm install tower -g

This way works for me.

Note: not work if you change user to root with sudo -s command. Works only with su.
