Not more or less safe than "curl | sudo bash", I'd say. ;-) On the other hand, couldn't you specify a path local to your user account (e. g., ~/node_modules) for a local installation of the gitbook-cli package?

And npm isn't the only example I could think of... --=20 Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
