   @ttimmy thanks for the detailed report.
   
   We indeed have to improve the docs in this area, but I'm not sure if it qualifies as a bug in the Cordova docs since the actual problem you encountered is more due to a bad npm setup. Unfortunately, the defaults that Ubuntu provides don't work that well. I would suggest a setup that installs global packages to your home directory so you won't have to use sudo to install packages globally. I can't provide a link on how to do that right now, but I think we should provide that in the docs too.
