I have a write protected home directory in order to spot apps trying to write where they should not. After creating a virtual python environment + installing node through nodeenv, my npm install fails:
(cdkv2) ~ $ which npm
/home/lestephane/VirtualEnvironments/cdkv2/bin/npm
(cdkv2) ~ $ npm install aws-cdk@next typescript

Can I have it create the cache .npm directory somewhere else instead? If so, How?
