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
npm ERR! Error: Attempt to unlock grunt-cli, which hasn't been locked

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

What i've done:
Uninstall node and reinstall it
Install a different version of node (7.7.0) and see if it updated npm
used npm clean cache -f
And none of these things worked...
So any ideas?
I had the same problem and had to run
npm install npm#latest -g
from the command line. I was told node and npm versions will be different.
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
When I try to install a npm package I receive the error:

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
Today I have installed the latest version of node through nvm on Linux Mint (Ubuntu 13.10).
Thanks to nvm, I now don't have to use the sudo command with npm - which has solved problems with a few packages.
$ node -v
v0.10.29
$ npm -v
1.4.14
However when entering this command:
npm install browserify --save-dev
I now get the following error:
npm ERR! Error: EACCES, symlink '../browserify/bin/cmd.js'
npm ERR! { [Error: EACCES, symlink '../browserify/bin/cmd.js'] errno: 3, code: 'EACCES', path: '../browserify/bin/cmd.js' }

When I try to comply with the error advice:
$ sudo npm install browserify --save-dev
sudo: npm: command not found
I have been able to install other modules with npm - globally and locally - with no issues. So my guess is the error is to do with symlinks? My local site is in /var/www/ but my node/npm installation is in ~/.nvm/, and my home folder doesn't follow symlinks? However I'm not a server/Linux expert so could be off the mark.
This works fine:
npm install browserify -g
Any help greatly received.
Adding browserify to my package.json manually and using npm install from the project root solved my issue. Not really sure why.
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 .

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
I've been trying to install topojson by following Mike Bostock's Let's Make a Map tutorial http://bost.ocks.org/mike/map/ and I believe I have managed to get the most recent version of Node.js and npm. $which ogr2ogr works as well. I'm quite new to programming and Ubuntu and would sincerely appreciate some thorough help as to why npm install topojson -g yields the following errors. When I try the same command with sudo it yields errors like: npm ERR! registry error parsing json and gyp ERR! stack Error: "pre" versions of node cannot be installed, use the --nodedir flag instead
Thanks!

First, please check your version of node.js -- use the stable version, not the devel version. Second, invoke the npm command as superuser.
$ sudo npm install -g topojson
So far, when I switch my node.js into stable version, TopoJSON installation is running well. Thank you for your attention.
I came across this error when installing topojson (Debian 3.2.0-4-amd64). My steps to get things working (also discussed here).
Install node v 0.11.10
git clone https://github.com/joyent/node.git
cd node
git checkout v0.11.10
./configure && make
sudo make install
Remove debian gyp and install via npm:
sudo apt-get remove gyp
npm install -g gyp
Explicitly install contextify, although that was the version already installed.
npm install contextify#0.1.7
then, installing topojson should work
sudo npm install -g topojson
