error installing coffeescript on mac 10.7.2
At the moment, I am trying to install CoffeeScript on my computer. I have node.js version 0.6.7 and npm 1.1.0-beta-10. When i run the command npm install -g coffee-script, it shows this error.

How do I fix this?
Error: EACCES, permission denied '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/___coffee-script.npm'
That means you dont have access, so run as root
$ sudo npm install -g coffee-script
(Bonus points for alternatively, not using coffeescript (it's a horrible thing))
The permission denied part is your hint that the installer needs privileges that it doesn't have. Try running as root, i.e.
sudo npm install coffee-script

I am working on a simple smart mirror project with javascript and electron. I was able to get the software working on my laptop but when I moved it to the raspberry pi I am having issues installing npm. After entering "npm install" I get this:

I have tried

Any ideas what to do? Thanks!
EDIT:
I updated the node.js to a more current version and now it installed without error. However, when I typed in the command
npm start
I get this:

Have you seen this issue? Electron works only on RaspberryPi 2/3 what version are you using?
Also have you run npm install before actually run the app? Sometimes when copying node_modules from OS to OS the executable permissions get very confused.
You can try a fresh install with: rm -rf node_modules && npm install
I cannot update electron-prebuilt.
I executed sudo npm update electron-prebuilt -g many times.
But, The Permission denied Error occur every time in spite of using sudo.
Why I can't update electron successfully?

The following is error log.

The issue is reported at https://github.com/mafintosh/electron-prebuilt/issues/48 and a workaround seems to be to first install without the -g flag which will get the file into user folder first, and then install again with -g.
EDIT: I guess somehow the permissions are messed up and I'm doing chmod. It seems that if I chmod not only for the user myself but also for group and others it works. Maybe others could also give it a try?
I had the same problem in OS X. I fixed it deleting the ~/.electron folder

The node install is made according to this guide.
I had the same issue, installing an earlier version of gulp worked for me:
sudo npm install -g gulp#3.8.8
Found this here: http://forum.ionicframework.com/t/osx-error-v8flags-after-npm-update-ionic/13905/5
Also tried a bunch of other solutions involving solutions as mentioned here:
NPM cannot install dependencies - Attempt to unlock something which hasn't been locked
None of that worked for me.
The error I was getting was this:
shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Permission denied

var cwd = process.cwd();

Thanks for any idea!
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.

npm not ok
The permission is denied and I have found that you should not sudo.
Please help and thanks in advance.
OKay all solved with the help of sudo but if anyone has any idea how to change my /usr/local/lib permissions it would be appriciated
What I do is:
sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local
That way, you can install whatever you want in /usr/local without sudoing :)
