How to use nmp?

I wanted to install bower via npm. But it said that it needed root permissions, how to use npm then?

Tried Command--> npm install -g bower

I think you need to tell it to install in a subdirectory of your own home directory, and to change your PATH to search wherever you tell it to install. More information in this Stack Overflow answer.
