I've been working on this for a while and it's the simplest thing....I NEED to simply install express so I can move on and actually work. No matter what I do I get this same error and Express won't install:

On my windows8 I tried to install a npm package
npm install grunt-contrib-uglify --save-dev
if I run it without --save-dev it works perfectly
npm install grunt-contrib-uglify --save-dev
adding saving couses an error:

I've checked files permissions, I've ran it as Administrator. I cannot find a way to get it working.
Please, help ;)
I had the same issue on OSX, I fixed it executing:
sudo chown -R $USER:$GROUP ~/.npm
and:
npm cache clean
Then I can install the package with --save-dev in the project.
In your case, instead of using chown you can change the permissions on "C:\2" and subfolders to your user using the Windows Explorer, i.e: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff404240.aspx Or directly from PowerShell: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/johan/archive/2008/10/01/powershell-editing-permissions-on-a-file-or-folder.aspx

So I was trying to install Grunt by typing the following into my terminal (through /usr/local/bin):
npm install -g grunt-cli
But I get this as a result:

...and that doesn't look too happy! Can anyone help me out here?
Note: I also initially tried doing it from just my usr, without the /local/bin but that came up with errors too.
I get the same result (OSX 10.9.5). It likely doesn't matter where you're running the command from - I'd expect you'd see the exact same paths erroring out.
The problem appears to be that npm wants to put globally installed packages under /usr/local/ (per https://www.npmjs.org/doc/files/npm-folders.html, executables in /usr/local/bin and modules in /usr/local/lib/node_modules on *NIX systems, which here includes OSX). This is not writable to your user on a Mac.
Your options are probably a few:
You could installing local to your project instead of globally (omit the -g). This would mean you need to reinstall the package in other project in which you want to use it. This also means you'll need to set up your PATH when you access the project to point to any binaries (e.g., grunt) under the project (export PATH=$PATH:./node_modules/bin), which you could do with a script, but may still be annoying.
You can also likely run the install again with sudo, but there are some risks there (pointed out in https://stackoverflow.com/a/25259232/1795230).
Finally, you can change the 'prefix' (via npm config set prefix ~/npm), as presented here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/21712034/1795230. This has the downside of not being "global" for real (just global to all the projects of your user) as pointed out in comment NPM won't install any package on Mac. New, clean build. `EACCES` & other errors, but that may work out fine, depending on your situation (works for me on my local dev machine).
Attempting to install Yeoman on my mac, I first tried following command from the documentation...
npm install -g yo
Got an error:
npm ERR! Please try running this command again as root/Administrator.
I tried again with:
sudo npm install -g yo
but it fails half-way through. This is the feedback where it fails and it repeats this pattern for a lot of failed packages.

Any thoughts?
I ran into the same problem. What fixed it for me was simply logging in as root first, using:
$ su
Next, installing Yeoman worked like a charm:
$ npm install -g yo
The big difference is the logging in as root using su, instead of sudo.
Now I have installed Node and Npm and I run this command in terminal (yes I am on a mac):
npm install -g bower
Which follows with this output from the terminal:

You need root access or permissions to install globally! Try :
sudo npm install -g bower
Much better than using sudo is setting a user level prefix. For example in ~/.npmrc set:
prefix = ${HOME}/npm-global
to use this folder for packages installed with -g.
Then you also need to set your PATH environment variable to include ${HOME}/npm-global/bin.
you shouldn't sudo bower right? I mean sudo npm install -g bower will work BUT here's the message I got:
Additional error details:
Since bower is a user command, there is no need to execute it with superuser permissions.
If you're having permission errors when using bower without sudo, please spend a few minutes learning more about how your system should work and make any necessary repairs.
http://www.joyent.com/blog/installing-node-and-npm
https://gist.github.com/isaacs/579814
You can however run a command with sudo using --allow-root option
If you've installed node/npm via Homebrew on OSX you may want to first run brew doctor and follow instructions before sudo-ing any system folders. In my case this brought up a nag about agreeing to an Xcode/iOS license:
Builds will fail! Agree to the license by opening Xcode.app or running:
xcodebuild -license
After doing that and running a brew update I was able to install Bower globally as expected.
I know that it's an old thread but I run into the issue recently after reinstalling Yosemite and xCode tools. In case anyone else gets stuck, what helped me was using the commands:
sudo chown -R $USER:$GROUP ~/.npm
sudo chown -R $USER:$GROUP ~/.config
Following suggestion from the thread below:
https://github.com/bower/bower/issues/2262
Using sudo with npm is discouraged.
Look here https://stackoverflow.com/a/18277225/1857521 for a better solution to an almost identical problem.

And i have this error message

Is there a solution to this problem?
Thanks in advance
Just now i solved this issue. Execute this command by going into to the root folder.
Destination folder -- > /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ and type the command sudo npm install -g cordova
I tried installing using the command npm i -g cordova-res --unsafe-perm. It worked fine.
