I've already looked at this:

In short:
  * newer npm is only installed as a module on the target, but not used
as the package manager for installing the node modules
  * I cannot find any resources about the npm options --target_arch and
--prefix

IMO, the only thing to think about is to use the -g option. This will
install also the binaries of node modules to usr/bin. But I've to check
this.
