'emerald new' tmp permissions

[phyro]

I think this came with the tmp copying in the new command.

If I try doing it with sudo it's trying to use the /usr/bin/node and it fails

I would recommend installing node via nodenv to deal with permissions issues: https://github.com/nodenv/nodenv

Ok, so the issue is that it cannot rename cross-device (I have separate partitions for root / and /home). For now a workaround suggested by @shanejonas worked for me:
export TMP=/home/phyro/tmp; npm install -g https://github.com/ETCDEVTeam/emerald.git
Seems like some packages read from TMP env variable and use this for the directory if it is defined
NOTE: for anyone having this issue, unless you put this in your .bashrc or equivalent, you'll have to run export TMP=/home/phyro/tmp before using some of the commands eg. emerald new
