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:
$ npm install restify

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.

I'm having some trouble installing NW.js. When I run npm install nw, I get these error messages:

I'm pretty sure the problem has to do with the first section where it talks about node being installed. I know there's an issue with Debian where the node package is actually already taken, so they use nodejs instead. I don't know enough this to fix it, I've already tried running export node=nodejs and adding it to the ~/.bashrc. Does anyone have any ideas about what I can do? I've had this problem with other npm packages as well.
The nodejs executable is called node, not nodejs. So, just remove the line you added. (export node=nodejs)
If it still won't work: Try reinstall node via package management (apt-get/yum/dnf) or Try reinstall the executable and setup PATH from website (https://nodejs.org/en/download/).

I've tried sudo npm install cube, but it doesn't work too.
I've search the error info by google and sf, I got nothing.
I've found the error:
the official source is not available:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/websocket-server
It's seems the developer's website is closed...
I found the solution by browse the ResqueBoard Issues
Try this:
cd node_modules/
git clone https://github.com/miksago/node-websocket-server
mv node-websocket-server websocket-server
cd..
npm install cube
use the node-websocket-server to replace websocket-server.
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
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:

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

Looks like your auth is set to something that doesn't work. Not clear how that happened -- perhaps check your /home/kelvin/.npmrc for a stray config? Shooting in the dark a bit. I would try npm mailing list if you don't find something in the rc.

isaacs: "The master branch from git is often unstable. This is fixed in HEAD already."
Solved after git pull, and make install.
