NPM Installs Not Working as Intended - node.js

Sometimes then I run npm commands in the ubuntu console, e.g.
npm install forever -g
I get such feedback from the console and it is unclear to me is it installed? Is this a list of dependencies? Is this an issue? How should I proceed fixing this?

This is not an error message, everything installed just fine.
Output such as this shows you the other packages that were installed as dependencies for the package you have installed.

Error during NPM install PM2 -g (Ubuntu 14.04 x64)

I am getting an error whilst trying to run npm install pm2 -g on a cloud Ubuntu 14.04 microserver/droplet.
I've tried:
sudo npm install pm2 -g
and
npm cache clear -f
...followed by both sudo and non-sudo installation attempts. All result in the below.
Verbatim outcome:

Is the Git repo b0rked? I'm quite new to SSH/Linux servers etc so this is all probably very obvious... :/
Figured it out: turned out it had installed ok.
The above was misleading as it a) looked as though it'd not completed properly, and b) trying to run any PM2-based command immediately afterwards was resulting in an error.
But it's now working.

Can't install Meteor Up / (mup)

After installing npm I typed:
npm install -g mup
It returned:
/Users/RyanCassutt/.node/bin/mup -> /Users/RyanCassutt/.node/lib/node_modules/mup/bin/mup

I then try to create a new project:

But it returns:

Is mup not installing correctly or is there some type of error? Thank you.

Installing Yeoman - "Yo command not found"

I have installed node.js and set up npm on my Yosemite install using the npm-g_nosudo script. When I then run npm install -g yo I see a bunch of content scroll through my terminal window, with no errors, and it completes. I then type yo and OS X tells me that it can't find the command.

Sullys-MacBook-Pro:~ Sully$ yo
-bash: yo: command not found
I also tried using source .bash_profile and rebooting. The command is still not found. Am I doing something wrong?
This is my .bash_profile
# Add environment variable COCOS_CONSOLE_ROOT for cocos2d-x
export COCOS_CONSOLE_ROOT=/Users/Sully/Development/Libraries/cocos2d-x-3.5/tools/cocos2d-console/bin

This was resolved by adding export PATH=/Users/UserAccountName/npm/bin:$PATH to my ~/.bash_profile and restarting Terminal.app.
I have faced the same problem after installing everything succesfully, I resolved it using the following method creating symbolic links to yo, grunt, bower like the following :
For Yo
praveen#praveen-lenovo:~$ sudo ln -s /home/praveen/.npm-global/bin/yo /usr/bin/yo
For Grunt
praveen#praveen-lenovo:~$ sudo ln -s /home/praveen/.npm-global/bin/grunt /usr/bin/grunt
For Bower
praveen#praveen-lenovo:~$ sudo ln -s /home/praveen/.npm-global/bin/bower /usr/bin/bower
Here in the above commands the common path /home/praveen/.npm-global/bin/ may change according to your system folder structure.

anyone know any pointers would be helpful.
You have a space between express and -generator above... if this was copy-pasted, maybe you missed it... it's supposed to be express-generator as a single unit.
Make certain that %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\npm both exists and is in your PATH environment variable... If it isn't there, you will have to open a new prompt after adding it. Some versions of node's installer don't always create or add it correctly.
If you are using [nvm for windows] you will need to ensure that C:\Program Files\nodejs is in your path (the installer should work correctly), you'll need to run nvm via command prompt Run as Administrator. This is because nvm uses symbolic links from the global install path to a specific version under your profile to run against.
I've been using nvm for windows for a few months now (switching from 0.10.x and 0.11.x versions) and it's been a bit easier to work with.
Make sure you are runing the command promt as System Administrator "This is very important", then do npm install -g express after that chang to the directory where you want to create your app and you are good to go. NB if you are using express 4 then install it via npm install -g express-generator#4

Nodejs on Windows, npm doesn't install modules from registry

I'm having a problem with my new installation of Node.js (windows 64 bit).
I'm trying to install the express module inside a project of mine but I can't work it out.
I type this command :
npm install -g express
However this is the result of the command

It's the list of dependecies needed by express but there's no download of them.
The first time I tried to use npm I had this problem (https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/4808)
There were many solutions to solve it, one of them consist in disable the layer ssl for the connection to the npm online registry but I don't think there's a connection between this solution (that I applied) and the problem.
Thank you in advance,
Luca
The express module should be installed on a per project basis.
npm install --save express
