Discussed on the issue of github aglio

Looks the same as this reported issue - https://github.com/bower/bower/issues/1597.
Recommended solution is to upgrade your npm version.

Bower installation errors on Windows, ENOENT, ENOTEMPTY

I am on Windows 8, running command prompt as administrator. I run this command:
npm install -g bower
This gives me errors. I can't provide the full output to npm-debug.log since I am limited to 30000 characters. StackOverflow complains about the length of my post and that it appears to contain code that is not properly formatted as code even though I put it in a pre, so I removed all lines with " silly " or " verbose ", and I also cut away everything except the end, which is where the interesting bits appear to be.
npm-debug.log contains the following:
3850 info install bower-endpoint-parser#0.2.2
3851 info postinstall bower-logger#0.2.2

3883 error cwd C:\nodeapps
3884 error node -v v0.10.11
3885 error npm -v 1.2.30
From what I can understand there's an error because the C:\Users\Mikal\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\bower\node_modules\q directory is not empty and thus cannot be removed. However, when I navigate there in Windows Explorer, there is no q directory inside of \nodemodules\.
If I go to my command prompt and scroll as far up as I'm able to go, I find the following:

Decompress-zip, Inquirer, fstream, semver, request and handlebars would install, with some warnings.
Retrying chalk after installing these did not work. From the "valid install targets" error line and some comments on a similar issue on Github with Macports, I got the idea that I should roll back npm to version 0.3.0.
Couldn't figure out how to do it. https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/5470 recommended npm cache clean, so I did that, followed by trying to install chalk again, which this time gave me

This indicates to me that I should roll back to version "1.1.0" - unfortunately I don't know how to do this.
On the previously linked GitHub issue, the person only managed to get it working by reinstalling node.js. So unless someone comes up with another solution soon, I think that's what I'll do.

I just went through the same issues attempting to install bower on my Windows 7 machine. I can vouch that reinstalling node.js fixed the problem!

I had similar problems on Windows 7 and got fixed running:
npm rm -g bower
npm cache clean
npm i -g bower

Windows itself handles directories of arbitrary sizes, but Windows Explorer and high level Windows APIs have a limited directory depth.
Unfortunately the deep module nesting is a result of the combination of node's module loading semantics and npm solving the dependency hell that occurs with other package managers. (Where you want to use two modules with mutually incompatible dependencies.)
The npm bug is here: Provide a way to flatten dependencies to one level to prevent max path issues on windows
You can remove a module all the way down with: npm uninstall <modulename>
Or, if you'd rather remove the directory, get rimraf:
npm install -g rimraf
rimraf <dirname>
Deduping may also put your tree into a more manageable state: npm dedup

I had a very similar issue when attempting to install Bower via NPM. And after reading everyone's suggestion of clean global cache for npm :
npm -g cache clean
It wasn't resolving my problem. What I realized was that there were serious compatibility issues with the version of NPM (1.2.18) and a number of newer packages (dezalgo, q, asap, ...).
Here is the best part is that I thought I was actually updating NPM using the following:
npm install -g npm
...but my console was not displaying errors or warnings, so I assumed everything was updated to the latest. Instead, after realizing that my update to NPM was not activating and I did some digging to find the best way to update your npm:
curl https://www.npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
Winner, winner, chicken dinner! NPM updated to version 2.1.7. After the NPM update, I did not have any issues with:
npm install bower
I think this will work with you guys that are having ENOENT problems with dependencies. Cheers!

The problem only is present on Windows OS. And it only is present if the path are already present (previous installation) and you are updating.
Nodes npm package manager does not install dependencies in one shared vendor folder (like Composer for e.g. does), but always in the vendor folders node_modules sub directory. This leads to an insane path depth like the following (where integers replace the original folder names):
./project/node_modules/1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10/11/12/13/14/15/16/17/18/19/20/21/22/23/24/25/26/27/
This is not the maximum depth that I've seen so far.
Windows has a maximum path length of 260 characters. It's no problem for Windows to create a path with an insane depth. The problem is deleting from that path. To delete such path, you will have to manually go in and rename the folders bit by bit until you reach a total path length <260 chars. And npm fails alongside Windows when trying to remove that folders before updating (and therefore adding) the new folders.
Edit
As per the comment of #Rarst, there is a solution: Use robocopy. It is very important to follow the below steps as accurate as possible. If you are not doing that, you can erase your harddisk!. There is no guarantee implied and the following is just a documentation of what I did to work around this and no recommendation and no tutorial or otherwise any sort of recommendation by me.
Created an empty directory (named _empty) in the the node_modules folder
Started powershell (worked with cmd as administrator as well)
Entered robocopy _empty dir-to-delete /MIR /s
Done
Remember: You can erase your harddisk when repeating above steps. So if you do that, you do it at your own risk and you should proceed with extreme caution.

I had same errors and npm cache clear/clean didn't solve my issue.
Reinstall from official website instead of aptget solve my issue.
download tar.gz file from https://nodejs.org/
extract with :
tar -zxvf yourtarfile.tar.gz
cd intoyournodefolder
.configure
make
sudo make install
then update npm
sudo npm install npm -g

I have no idea what to do or how to fix this.

I think that I fixed by using sudo.

I also fixed it by
sudo npm install -g topojson
All the process were then successful.
Afterwhat my
topojson -o output.json input.shp
however, didn't worked.
Did topojson worked fine after your sudo install ?
