NPM error when trying to install gulp and bower - node.js

I'm trying to install gulp and bower by running npm install --global gulp bower . Everything seems to be going fine then I get this:
npm ERR! Darwin 15.0.0

I've also tried running the command using sudo, but to no avail. Any pointers?
Update:
This seems to be happening for everything I'm trying to install. Just tried sudo npm install --global generator-gulp-webapp and it did the same thing.

are you using npm 3.x? if so, try downgrading to npm 2.x (you can npm install npm#2.14.12).
npm 3.x has a couple of issues with yeoman

"npm not being able to find a file abbrev" when installing aurelia cli

I am installing aurelia-cli in my production version. I am following instruction from 'http://aurelia.io/hub.html#/doc/article/aurelia/framework/latest/the-aurelia-cli', now everytime when I am trying to run npm install aurelia-cli -g it gives me below error:

I have no idea about that specific error, however, this often works for me, and this method of doing a fresh reinstall is often recommended on gitter by the aurelia folks:
npm uninstall -g aurelia-cli
npm clear cache
npm install -g aurelia-cli
rm -rf node_modules
npm install
npm install # on freebsd sometimes I have to run this more than once

Not able to installing sails.js

I tried to install sails.js as administator
npm install -g sails
In C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\
It has created a .staging file folder
and then sails folder...
but again later .staging folder got deleted automatically...
And at administator console log ended with this error...

You should run command line as administrator then
npm cache clean
now you are ready to install sailsjs
npm install -g sails
if still issue then you may try
npm install -g sails --ignore-scripts

Error code -2 when installing gulp

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.
npm WARN package.json dependencies#1.0.0 No description

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.

npm ERR! addLocal could not install in windows

Just started a new job and have to run node on windows (where all my coworkers are using OSX, which runs fine checking it out fresh)
When npm, I kept getting addLocal could not install, where it seems like it is trying to access temp directory in %APPDATA% (which does not any special permission) Where my coworker using same version of node and npm (but in mac) would not see any of these.
I have also tried downgrade node to 10.35, but I am getting another problem. Does anyone has any idea what might be the case?
Here is the stdout:

thank you!
Use the config to change the locations:
Run npm config ls -l
Check the path to the cache and the temp
Change them both to a new path. For example:
npm config set cache %USERPROFILE%\npm-cache
npm config set tmp %USERPROFILE%\tmp
will put them in your profile folder.
Make the same edit in all .npmrc file locations:
%appdata%\npm\node_modules\npm\.npmrc
%ProgramFiles%\nodejs\node_modules\npm\.npmrc
%USERPROFILE%\.npmrc
