Is there a way to install NPM command line tools on NixOS?
[root@ip-xxx-xxx-0-27:~/teros/ntrs-cli]# sudo npm i -g typescript
npm WARN checkPermissions Missing write access to /nix/store/rhikjv5vlpa6vq4qkrszinwsaz1mda7p-nodejs-8.15.1/lib/node_modules

I assume because it's read-only, because I did run:
chown -R `whoami` nix/store/rhikjv5vlpa6vq4qkrszinwsaz1mda7p-nodejs-8.15.1
as an aside if someone knows how to install Node.js version 11 or 12 on nixos that'd be great.
