Always recommend user-level package installations rather than using administrative/root privileges. Installing packages with elevated permissions can compromise system security and stability. Documentation and scripts should explicitly guide users toward safer installation practices.

Example:
# Installation
## User-level installation (recommended)
```sh
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/npm-packages
npm config set prefix ~/.local/share/npm-packages
export PATH=~/.local/share/npm-packages/bin:$PATH
npm install -g my-package
We recommend installing this package as a regular user, not as an administrative user like root. Installing as a regular user helps maintain your system’s security and stability. ```
