Run PhpStorm's Create Project with sudo

Question

I want to create a new node.js app in PhpStorm but it can't build it as npm requires root to install. I can't seem to find a way to make PhpStorm run npm as su.

Is there a way to do so?

Installing with sudo will likely result in more issues. I'd rather suggest making sure that your user (the one you run WebStorm with) has the right privileges in ~/.npm, and give it the needed permissions ( 'sudo chown -R $USER ~/.npm' )
