npm install tds doesn't work on Linux

[Daniel Terhorst-North]

I'm getting:

npm ERR! Error: EACCES, permission denied '/tmp/npm-1331631391030/1331631391030-0.720018953550607/___package.npm/package/lib/altmetadata.token.js'

It looks like the permissions are broken in the tarball. The lib directory has permissions rw-rw-rw- which means npm can't see what's in the directory (it needs to have the execute bits set):

This is the same issue as issue #13. For now use sudo. The next release I will upload a tarball that fixes it.
