Test npm install --global on different setups

... After more Googling, this seems to work for me... sudo npm install --global auspice@alpha --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root

@emmahodcroft were you using nodejs inside a conda environment, or a system nodejs install?

I believe it's a system install. If there's anything I can fun run to produce more useful information just let me know :)

Rolling updates on what works, and what doesn't!

Works

• ubuntu using nvm to manage nodejs (kairsten, thomas)
• macos using conda (james)
• macos using system install (of node/npm) (jover)
• windows 10 (WSL) global nodejs required sudo npm install --global auspice (cassia)

Doesn't work

• ubuntu using system nodejs install (kairsten, thomas)
• windows using system nodejs install (emma)

thanks @joverlee521 -- did you have a system install of node/npm, or were you using nvm, or conda?
