I entered "sudo npm install -g express-generator" which threw errors back at me.
I then checked issues like this on Stackoverflow and found none were successful.
The things I tried were:
"sudo chown -R username ~/.npm" and "npm cache clean"
but it's throwing an error back:

npm ERR! argv "/usr/local/bin/node" "/usr/local/bin/npm" "install"

It's a known issue with node 6.6.0 and npm 3.10.8. Have you tried downgrade to 3.10.3?
npm install -g npm#3.10.3
or updating node?

I just used Homebrew to install Node. It seemed alright but when I try to update npm with
npm install -g npm
I get the following error:

This worked for me in the past with a similar issue:
npm cache clean
You can also try running it as sudo
sudo npm install -g npm

Any idea as to why I am getting these errors?
Use sudo as you are installing in system directory (with the -g, global flag):
sudo npm install -g cordova ionic
Mean-cli is a package used to initialize meanio full stack javascript framework. But I cannot install it globally via npm. This is what I can provide you to understand what I mean.

I have referred a stack overflow question where it was discussed that the node should be updated. My nodejs is updated and I have updated npm as you guys can see. But then I get .scripts/preinstall.js error. Saw their github ticket where they say that this issue has been resolved but still i am facing it. Any help would be appreciated.
I just ran into the same issue.
Running the console as Administrator fixed the issue for me.
