I want to install gulp globally，so I use this command ，
npm install gulp -g
then throw this error：

It seems that the error occurs because when it wants to open an director ，in fact it was an file.I checked for the node_global director and found an file named gulp.cmd and a file named gulp too.So there may be conflict between them.
It is an simple problem.I set the config of npm with this
cache=E:\nodejs\node_global
prefix=E:\nodejs\node_global
The cache and prefix should not be placed in same director.May be I just change it by accident.Happy coding:)

Never had such a problem before.
npm has a local cache for modules which you have installed, so maybe something stuck with modules. Try:
npm cache clean
It will delete data out of the cache folder.

I did follow the doc : https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package.json#local-paths
The error messages aren't very helpful, but it has to be (emphasis mine):
a path to a local directory that contains a package
https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package.json#local-paths
You appear to be pointing it to a file. You probably need something like:
"user": "file:./server/models"
A package also requires a package.json, so in that case you'd need to have server/models/package.json.
I followed this guide to install node to my machine without having admin rights.
I put node.exe, (npm.cmd and node_modules ) both from the npm zip in C:\Users\rakibler\Node. I added that to my path. I ran npm install -g bower and got
npm ERR! Error: EISDIR, open 'C:\Users\rakibler\Node\bower'
npm ERR! at Error (native)

at the end. It also seems like something else is wrong, because everything it downloads goes to C:\Users\rakibler\Node instead of C:\Users\rakibler\Node\node_modules. Not sure what's going wrong here. Any idea?
i think you need to install the npm globlally using
"npm install -g npm"
and then use it in directory to install bower . i hope this will solve your issue
I'm trying to install Gulp using Node.js on OSX but something goes wrong. Here's what i do.
I installed node.js
use sudo npm init to create package.json file
use sudo npm install —save-dev gulp
At this point there was the error.

I searched a lot in google but with no results for this type of error.
Please can you help me to fix the error?
You missed a - in the command it should be: npm install --save-dev gulp
UPDATE: It seems like you are not using the - at all but this — that's another character and is wrong.
