I am having a problem with the terminal.
I use Linux Mint 18.3.
When I insert this: npm install -g javascripting
— Npm WARN deprecated sprintf0.1.5: The sprintf package is deprecated in favor of sprintf-js.

— This is the message that I see.
What can I do about it ?
— Ok, I solved it.
— Sudo? :P
— Yeah all they had to do was read the error haha
— I make the same mistake and have to sit there reading it before facepalming, just because I know that's like the 100'th time I tried to run it without sudo
— Npx works without sudo though?
— It doesn't touch any root folders I believe
— ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
— Sudo -i
