Error install mean-cli debian arm platform

[Xertion57]

Hello guys. I'm here because I have an issue installing mean-cli that i couldn't overcome.
The system i'm working on is a beaglebone black (arm) running an 8.2 jessie debian. I'm aware of the legacy binary node issue, I installed node-js-legacy to solve it but it didn't seem to have any effect.
i also tried to make a soft link from node to nodejs, it didn't work.

Here's is the error :
(you can fin the zip log here : npm-debug.zip )

[email protected] preinstall /usr/local/lib/node_modules/mean-cli
node ./scripts/preinstall

module.js:340

Hi,

What worked for me, I cannot guarantee the theory behind that but tell me if it worked :

I made the global packages installation with sudoers permissions.

Then I was making the NPM install with standard user permission.
I read the errors and it seemed that the npm install was trying to write in usr/local/lib/node_modules. I suspect that node-gyp is doing stuff in this folder. (whereas it shouldn't)

Stuffs in this folder are created by the user "nobody" and my user couldn't write on that.

I made an chown -R of /usr/local/lib/node_modules then npm install again and everything worked.

He tells you what he did to get his setup to work. You can probably figure it out if you Google some of the keywords.
