ok the problem is it installed npm but some how it's on read only file system. I had to make a copy of whole folder and put a symlink to make it work

Below are the steps to install node/npm from source (OSX/linux)

NOTE - this install gives you both node as well as npm, they come together per release.

to start fresh remove prior node and npm installs as well as these :

sudo mv ~/.npmrc ~/.npmrc_ignore
sudo mv ~/.npm   ~/.npm_ignore
sudo mv ~/tmp    ~/tmp_ignore
sudo mv ~/.npm-init.js ~/.npm-init.js_ignore

download source from : https://nodejs.org/en/download/current/

_OR_specific releases at : https://nodejs.org/download/release/

cd node-v6.3.1  #  <-- download expands to this temp dir

You may/should issue all following cmds as yourself NOT root (sudo)

Pick one of these NODE_PARENT locations to define where node gets installed into :

export NODE_PARENT=/some/desired/install/path_goes_here
export NODE_PARENT=/usr/local/bin/nodejs   # use this ONLY if you MUST install as root (sudo)
export NODE_PARENT=${HOME}/node-v6.3.1 # Recommended - owned by you NOT root

export PATH=${NODE_PARENT}/bin:${PATH} # jack up PATH for executables
export NODE_PATH=${NODE_PARENT}/lib/node_modules # so node itself can find its modules dir

./configure --prefix=${NODE_PARENT}

make
make install

which puts it into dir defined by above --prefix

when you use syntax : npm install -g some_cool_module the -g for global installs it into dir $NODE_PATH and not your $PWD

IMPORTANT - put above three export xxx=yyy commands into your ~/.bashrc or some such to persist these environment variable changes

If you had a prior install of node you may want to copy over previously installed modules into new location : 

~/node-v6.3.1/lib/node_modules/

or do fresh module installs using npm install -g xxxx

tce-load -w -i appbrowser-cli.tcz
appbrowser-cli

click S

search for node package

Install nodejs

If you see permission denied message on npm : use following commands

cd /mnt/sda1/tmp/tcloop
cp -r nodejs-v0.10.28 /home/nodejs
alias npm='node /home/nodejs/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js'

Install nodejs via package manager for tinycore

$ tce-load -w -i appbrowser-cli.tcz
$ appbrowser-cli
this will open command line package manager, search for node and install
