Installing PhantomJS 2 using NPM fails on Windows - windows

I'm trying to install PhantomJS 2 for a project that requires support for mutation observers. When I use the following command:
npm install phantomjs2 --save-dev
I get the following error:
Unexpected platform or architecture: win32 x64
npm ERR! phantomjs2#2.0.0 install: `node install.js`
npm ERR! Exit status 1

I am using 64 bit Windows 7. Is PhantomJS 2 just not supported on my platform?

Yes, that package currently doesn't support installing PhantomJS 2 on Windows. Just download it from the official page and put the exe in a directory that is in the PATH.

Multiple npm install fails (EPERM error)

Im trying to install multiple packages in different child processes. And all the packages have some common dependency(browserify in my case).
example
|
|_pkg1
| |_browserify
|
|_pkg2
| |_browserify
|
|_pkg3
| |_browserify
|
|_run.js
run.js:
var packages = ['pkg1', 'pkg2', 'pkg3'];
packages.forEach(function(pkg){
exec('npm install ./' + pkg);
});
And node run.js fails with log

npm ERR! argv "c:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\\\node.exe" "c:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node_modules\\npm\\bin\\npm-cli.js" "i

Example: https://github.com/SakerONE/multiple-npm-install
Works fine with npm 2.9.1
Just try to upgrade your npm
npm install npm#latest -g
This seems to be a tricky bug in npm, most probably, a race condition of parallel tasks writing the same package.json.
You can use --force flag to avoid cache (but it might be slow to download all dependencies on each build). Or wait for npm team to implement a permanent fix.

Web starter kit installation Error

when i run the installation process and put npm install in the command line after running some processes it gives me this :

I also got a few errors upon installing via the npm install command, but in order to get it to go away I relaunched command prompt in administrator mode. It solved the problem easily.
Hope it helps!

...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).

Failing to install Yeoman (Mac OSX)

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.
npm ERR! Error: ENOENT, lstat '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/yo/node_modules/yeoman-generator/node_modules/glob/.travis.yml'

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.

Try this:
sudo npm install https://registry.npmjs.org/npm/-/npm-1.3.19.tgz
then
sudo npm install -g phonegap
The problem on my checksum was caused by https://registry.npmjs.org/npm/-/npm-1.3.19.tgz
Try this first
"npm set registry https://registry.npmjs.org/"
if failed then try to use the npm mirror:
"npm set registry http://ec2-46-137-149-160.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com"
then use it normally:
npm install express
You can downgrade Node.js to version 0.10.19 to solve the issue
try: npm install https://registry.npmjs.org/npm/-/npm-1.3.21.tgz
change from "19" to 21
