    {

  	   "adfsserver":"login.work.com",

    }
    
    ~/.aws/config
    ~/.aws/credentials

If you can not install globally -g, you may need to install as a local user. This link explains how to do that.

http://justjs.com/posts/npm-link-developing-your-own-npm-modules-without-tears Setup npm to install into your home directory rather than in the root dir.

mkdir -p ~/npm/bin

vim ~/.npmrc

prefix = /home/MyUsername/npm

vim ~/.profile

# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/npm/bin" ] ; then
    PATH="$HOME/npm/bin:$PATH"
fi

source ~/.profile
