dpogue opened a new issue #838: Docs should not encourage global npm installation
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-docs/issues/838
 
 
   Currently the docs say to run `sudo npm install -g cordova` which is not great from a best practices standpoint. We should never encourage running npm with sudo because of permissions problems, and npm recommends not installing anything globally if it can be helped.
   
   We should update our documentation to use `npx cordova` instead ([npx](https://blog.npmjs.org/post/162869356040/introducing-npx-an-npm-package-runner) requires npm >=5.2.0), and add cordova as a devDependency to our hello-world project template.
