Description

Hi,

Currently to install some package to global node_modules I have to run something like this:

$ cd /usr/lib/node_modules
$ sudo ied install react

Is there a better way or am I missing something?

my env is: ied v1.1.1 @ ubuntu 16.04

Research direction
Check if ied supports a ` g` or ` global` flag for global installation, or if it uses a configuration file to set the global path.
