       code: 'ERR_ASSERTION',
       actual: 254,
       expected: 0,
       operator: 'strictEqual'
    }

The home directory will be created as expected by npm in the npmSandbox
when run as non-root, but when run as root this directory has to exist.

This commit creates the home directory to allow the test to pass also
when run as the root user.
