I found out about ~/.npm-packages (by default `npm install -g tern` is using this directory, ~/.npm-global is just used as an example in the documentation you linked), but I forgot to update patch. I applied your revisited patch but ycmd in Debian is always trying to use tern with nodejs (installed by Debian package manager). I hope this will do the trick.
