When i run a command with -g (global) installation i get EACCESS errors . I read on one of the stack overflow answers that i should use 'sudo chown -R whoami ~/.npm' to run as local/root adminstrator but it didnt help
npm ERR! errno: 3,

If you are an administrator I suggest you run the command as root:
sudo npm install -g bower
I used --unsafe-perm with install e.g
sudo npm install -g learnyounode --unsafe-perm
this helped me install without permissions error, hope this is fixed soon.

Thanks in advance.
it seems you are trying to install it from a non-root user so in this case, you have to have the root permissions in order to install a global node modules.
just try to run commands from the root user, run this first
sudo su
after that run:
npm install -g create-react-app
if you still having error '/usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory'
try to run this command ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node and re install creat-react-app again.
When I try to install a npm package I receive the error:

npm ERR! addLocal Could not install /Users/Egen/Code/gulp/–save-dev
npm ERR! Darwin 15.5.0

npm ERR! If you need help, you may report this error at:

I've set the right permissions at /usr/local/lib/node_modules like this:
sudo chown -R Egen /usr/local/
What could be the problem?
The error is a result of an incorrect command. You typed:
npm install gulp-jshint -save-dev
This causes npm to try to install the packages gulp and -save-dev.
The correct command should be:
npm install gulp-jshint --save-dev
I installed node and everything was ok, but when I've tried to install stylus, for example didn't allow me to do it with :nmp install -g stylus, only with :npm install stylus.
When I try to compile estilos.styl anywhere, then the console gives me
"command not found"
I tried to install stylus in the local folder too, but still same error. Same happens with grunt-cli or any module I try to install with node.
These are the errors:

If you're trying to install globally (which is what the -g switch means) you may have to use sudo: sudo npm install -g [module-name]
EACASSS error means you do not have permissions.
To install globally you need to have elevated permissions, this will help:
sudo npm install -g stylus
It will ask you for the password for security reasons.
Installing locally works without permissions, but as you noticed, command stylus is not found, because it is installed locally and not included into your $PATH.
Try to install using this:
npm install --save [module-name]

According to the maintainer of npm, installing packages with sudo is considered bad practice because you are allowing that package to have complete control of your system and you can't and SHOULDN'T trust these packages with root access. Think Debian's long release cycles as an extreme example of protecting end users from community maintained packages for this exact reason.
http://howtonode.org/introduction-to-npm
You should do what Issaacs suggests and chown your /usr/local folder so you have RW permissions.
I've had this problem before; sometimes for global packages your current working directory has to be ~/ (but I'm not sure why this is!). Try:
cd ~/; sudo npm install -g grunt-cli
This blog worked for me :
http://slopjong.de/2012/10/31/how-to-install-the-latest-nodejs-in-ubuntu/
the error was because in ubuntu v12 few of the dependencies were not available for the latest version of Node.
