Issue with Linux CLI Install
After following the instructions for the linux cli installation afer running the command npm install -g edge-impulse-cli I ran into the error code:
prebuild-install WARN install EACCES: permission denied, access ‘/root/.npm’

I tried using sudo npm install -g edge-imuplse-cli as there was a permissions error and this did not work. I then read through the faqs and used the command npm config set user root as there was a similar error but this did not work for both the sudo and non-sudo command.
My linux version is: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
Python3 version: 3.8.5
NPM version: 6.14.4
