We tried to run cypress docker image under Jenkins which runs all docker images with non-root account. Unfortunately, this is not possible without hack and modifications in the image itself.

I've investigated this a bit and it seems that the source of this issue is that cypress is installed under /root folder by default. This is misconfiguration because /root folder is not designed to host global libraries or software. It translated then to all sorts of problems, like libraries not resolving, difficulties to run images under SaaS CI providers, etc.

My proposal is to have cypress installed into /usr/local or whatever is provided by default npm configuration under used OS.
