New Linux user on Debian 9 - Does it matter what directory I'm in when installing nodejs and npm globally?

I'm running crostini on pixelbook and trying to install nodejs and npm. Yesterday I did it (I believe) in my root home folder and later had trouble installing create-react-app because I didn't have permission as a root user or something. I've since deleted and reinstalled crostini and am going to try again. Anything I should know about where and how to safely install nodejs and npm safely as a beginner?
