first, go read (i know it's long, but still...) this thread at the discuss.atom.io forums —

Need help - ubuntu linux 14.04 LTS w/ xfce4 Atom build error - grunt file expecting Node in another directory

basically, on ubuntu linux 14.04 LTS with unity, if i install node.js via your latest version of nvm, v0.17.3, and then try and doing an install in linux of something like Atom that finishes with the grunt.js task runner, the install with the grunt file fails because nvm does not have root access. for some thing like node.js on linux and installing stuff like the Atom editor that uses grunt files that need root access, i think it either needs to install node.js giving it root access or it needs to have a work-around for this.

best,

That's a huge problem with grunt, not one with nvm. Nothing should need root access. Please file an issue on grunt itself. See #43 for context about nvm and root.
