"Install npm packages globally without sudo" is incompatible with nvm

You don't need to use that guide if you're using nvm, because nvm handles it for you (hence the compatibility warning).

How can I install global packages without sudo using nvm?

[Rowno]

You don't need to use sudo with nvm. Just npm install -g yo, nvm automatically sets the npm prefix to non-root directory. If you've been using sudo with nvm you'll probably need to fix the permissions of the nvm and npm cache directories.

My recommendation is to not use nvm. It has so many problems and issues.

https://github.com/tj/n is a better choice.
