npm unable to install dependencies - node.js

I'm trying to install some npm modules and all goes fine until I try to install the dependencies of the installed modules. npm shows this log:
$ sudo npm install -g
npm ERR! addLocal Could not install .
npm ERR! Error: ENOENT, open 'package.json'

Also tried the command without -g but it doesn't work either.

There is no need for this. When you install a npm package with npm install <package name> (globally or locally), it already installs all of its dependencies on its own.
You only need the npm install command when you checked out an Application with a package.json-File to install the APPLICATIONS Dependencies.

If you want to upgrade ALL global packages, you should use:
npm update -g

Check your node version and node-sass version.
Mine was "node-sass":"4.5.3" node version i changed that too "node-sass":"^4.6.0"
(change this based on your node version by referring the below attached image) in package.json dev dependency and ran npm install. Installation was success and working fine.try this

npm ERR! when trying to install gulp-jshint

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

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

npm err code eisdir errno -4068 whenever installing any package

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'

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

Failing to install the Grunt command line interface

I am currently having trouble installing the grunt command line interface, i get a whole lot of errors on the log when I try and install it using instructions off a tutorial website. I just added node.js from a package I downloaded off their website. Any help would be appreciated?
I used the following command as detailed on the roots WordPress instructions page
npm install -g grunt-cli
and this error message was returned

Run sudo npm install -g grunt-cli you need sudo privileges when installing something globally, or remove the -g switch.
Try to avoid needing sudo with npm, there are likely going to be other permissions errors. Here is what I did after installing npm with sudo:
Uninstall NPM: sudo npm uninstall npm -g
Install NVM so that I can install npm without needing sudo (similar to RVM), see: https://github.com/creationix/nvm#installation
Install latest npm: nvm install stable
Clear caches npm cache clear
and then everything worked

I have just built a server and installed NodeJS (compiled from source). I can install global packages using npm but can't install anything locally:

$
I am running the current versions of node and npm:
$ node -v
v0.10.26
$ npm -v
1.4.3
$
I am having the same issues with the request package as well.
I am the owner of the folder and all the files int contains.
Does anyone know what is going on?
The issue may be the permissions on the .npm directory in the home directory. I belatedly found this post:
NPM cannot install dependencies - Attempt to unlock something which hasn't been locked
Unfortunately until I get into work tomorrow I have no way to confirm this.
