Probably you are trying to run this code in empty directory. This is not right. npm install command installs all packages and dependencies which are listed in package.json file.
If you want to start npm project and make npm install run successfully, first run npm init command. This will create you package.json and there you will be able to enter all the packages and deps. Then you will be able to run npm install

What could be the issue?

how do you globally install a file as the root/administrator?

when I try "npm install -g jshint", I get the following readout.

I'd love to get error sorted out. "npm install jshint" works fine, by the way. ultimately, I need help downloading jshint for use in "sublimelint-jshint" on sublime tex 3.

You've got to be root to install globally with npm, so try:
sudo npm -g install jshint

NPM no longer working

so I wasn't paying attention and ran this command-
npm install npm install jasmine-node -g

Now when I try and run
npm install jasmine-node -g
I get
-bash: /usr/local/bin/npm: No such file or directory
What's going on?

When you run npm install -g somepackage, you may get an EACCES error asking you to run the command again as root/Administrator. It's a permissions issue.
It's easy to fix, open your terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal)
sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local
** I strongly recommend you to not use the package management with sudo (sudo npm -g install something), because you can get some issues later **
Reference: http://foohack.com/2010/08/intro-to-npm/
** Update **
The reason is because this can cause permissions problems with lots of other apps, so I'd suggest not doing this.
A better solution when you are installing globally:
sudo chown -R `whoami` ~/.npm

Tried it myself.
You will need to install npm again. If you use git, this is the easiest way:
git clone http://github.com/isaacs/npm.git
cd npm
sudo make install
Otherwise, there is an install script too:
curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
(possibly you will need to use sudo sh instead of sh).
Then install your module again:
sudo npm install jasmine-node -g
EDIT 23/01/2014:
Now npm comes with NodeJs itself, so just reinstall NodeJs.

Look at the error
Please try running this command again as root/Administrator.
You need to run this with sudo
$ sudo npm install jasmine-node -g

This worked for me (OSX). I had to run it in my user directory.
cd ~
curl -L http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sudo sh

I was able to get around the permissions issues by setting my packages to install locally with a one-line "$HOME/.npmrc" file:
prefix=${HOME}/.npm_packages

Installing grunt globally failed and I can't find it on npmjs.org
