Fix NPM EACCES permission denied errors (recommended fix) Global Package install

How to fix eacces permission denied errors with npm when installing a global package using Ubuntu. An easy fix is to install using sudo but this isn't recommended as this gives permissions to scripts that can execute anything it wants which can be harmful.

Solution:
nvm install node
This will reinstall npm and node using the correct permissions and avoids the eacces permission errors. Once installed can continue as normal.

Like anything else: Always keep a back up before making these changes for an easy revert :)
