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.

The documentation for the module tells me to run npm install --save mapbox-gl but when I try this I receive the following error.

My system is MacOS Sierra 10.12.5
Node version: v6.10.0
NPM version: v3.10.10
v0.39 seems to be broken see https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/issues/5025
You can try to install previous version with npm install --save mapbox-gl#0.38.0

The bitcore library explicitly tells you to install globally:
Spin up a full node and join the network:
npm install -g bitcore
bitcored
Note the -g flag in the command. Currently, you're running npm install bitcore, which fails because you're trying to install locally without a package.json file. If you're not installing with -g, you must run npm init first before installing anything. In this case, you are installing with -g, so just follow the docs step by step, copying exactly what they tell you.
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

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

Take a look to this workaround (node version v4.2.4):
npm install serialport --build-from-source
As I have read in many forums, it is not a good practice to use sudo with npm.
