Upgrade problem (master branch)

I tried to upgrade 1.13.2 to the master, it says:

That error is caused by a permissions error, likely because you're running as root.
nodebb should not be installed or run as a privileged user.

It is dangerous to run nodebb this way. Do so at your own risk.
I'm not sure exactly what is causing that npm error, but it's not a NodeBB bug. I suggest you look it up yourself.
