chmod /tmp before Elastic Beanstalk install

Question

My node.js application fails to install on Elastic Beanstalk with the following error when installing the leveldown module:

prebuild WARN install EACCES: permission denied, access '/tmp/.npm'

How do I set full permission on /tmp before deploying a new app version with Elastic Beanstalk?
