Add Package using mrt below :

HOMEs-Mac-mini:appdemo home$ mrt add router

I used to have a setup where my developer account did not have the admin role. Sounds like a secure setup but I experienced only problems together with npm & sudo.

A temporary solution was to have a separate admin account and running all npm installs with this account, but that really sucks if you install a lot of packages.

After messing around for a while I finally uninstalled npm, upgraded my account with admin privileges and re-installed npm. No problems since then.
