Sudo should never be required with npm—usually this is a misconfiguration caused by not giving permissions to /usr/local on OS X or Linux, or not using a local folder like ~/.npm. If sudo npm is run, this causes the EACCESS error seen in #117 for what should be a local folder: its contents were mistakenly written to as root.
