Hi there,

I am trying to get an existing node JS app (which uses express) to run on nodester. Things went fine, until the step “nodester npm install brook express jade” (brook is the name of my app. git repo: git@nodester.com:/node/git/lingyanzhu/6934-2119f3c1e4d1056d7509f33b10949152.git

I am getting EACCES errors. Here is the entire output:
$ nodester npm install brook express jade
nodester info installing to app: brook
nodester info installing these npm packages: express,jade
