As you see above, I tried it as a normal user und chown'ed the top level
dir /usr/local/lib/node_modules to his (mine) owner. This gives the
above errors.
When I run the mkdir(1) from the shell as a normal user, it works fine:
$ mkdir '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/gitbook-cli'
$ ls -ld /usr/local/lib/node_modules/gitbook-cli
drwxr-xr-x 2 guru wheel 512 17 oct 12:15 /usr/local/lib/node_modules/gitbook-cli
I do not understand, why npm is unwilling todo its job as normal user.
When I even set 0777 perms to the dir /usr/local/lib/node_modules it
gives:
$ npm install gitbook-cli -g
npm ERR! FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT
npm ERR! argv "node" "/usr/local/bin/npm" "install" "gitbook-cli" "-g"

It installes some thousand file below this dir, but nothing for
'gitbook':
$ find /usr/local/lib/node_modules | wc -l
2283
$ find /usr/local/lib/node_modules | fgrep gitbook
$

Yes, very problematic.
