                          I tried to install the npm install pug, could not because of the permisions, got this: 

    checkPermissions Missing write access to /usr/local/lib/node_modules

However im logged in as as root Linards:~ Berzins$, as I tried to enable the root user:

    Linards:~ Berzins$ dsenableroot
    username = Berzins
    user password:
    root password:
    verify root password:
    dsenableroot:: ***Successfully enabled root user.

Any help appreciated.


**UPDATE:** 

After suggestion by FarazX below, this is the ooutcome:

    Linards:~ Berzins$ ls -lO /usr/local/lib/node_modules
    total 0
    drwxr-xr-x   8 Berzins  staff  - 272  1 Oct 21:53 bower
    drwxr-xr-x   8 Berzins  staff  - 272  1 Oct 21:54 foundation-cli
    drwxr-xr-x  12 Berzins  staff  - 408 11 Oct 22:56 gulp
    drwxr-xr-x  27 Berzins  staff  - 918 12 Oct 13:17 npm
    Linards:~ Berzins$
