I am getting a very odd error trying to install the express-generator with and without sudo.
I need to run: npm install express-generator -g and then express --ejs name_here but when executing the first command, I get the following error:
npm ERR! Darwin 15.2.0
npm ERR! argv "node" "/usr/local/bin/npm" "install" "express-generator" "-g"

After trying sudo npm install express-generator -g I get this:
/Users/[name]/.npm/bin/express -> /Users/[name]/.npm/lib/node_modules/express-generator/bin/express
express-generator#4.13.1 /Users/[name]/.npm/lib/node_modules/express-generator
├── sorted-object#1.0.0
├── commander#2.7.1 (graceful-readlink#1.0.1)
└── mkdirp#0.5.1 (minimist#0.0.8)
Then running express --ejs name_here returns -bash: express: command not found
Is there a way I can solve this issue? The other questions on SO seem to have fixed the issue by trying sudo but not for me.
Try to use an express command with a full path: /Users/[name]/.npm/bin/express or sudo /Users/[name]/.npm/bin/express.
Looks like PATH variable wasn't set after installation. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PATH_(variable))

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

I've recently installed Node.JS for ionic framework. But when i type on the terminal :
npm install -g cordova ionic

During the installation of Node.JS I need to make sure that /usr/local/bin is in your $PATH.
And when i type
$PATH
The results is :
-bash: /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/X11/bin: No such file or directory
I'm not a "Pro" with the line commands.. but i think i need to change my $PATH for install ionic right ? In this case ? How can i do please?
Try sudo npm install -g cordova. You may have to input your password.
I've searched every SO question even closely related and everything I've tried hasn't worked. Any ideas? I can post the debug log, but it is quite long and I can't get it to format correctly. Let me know if this would be helpful.

Looks like it wants you to be an administrator:
...
Please try running this command again as root/Administrator
...
Try sudo npm install -g express-generator
seems like a nifty thing to use, but it's not installing.

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
