Mac Catalina 10.15.6
I already had npm installed. I wanted to upgrade so I ran the following.
npm install -g npm
Below is the output:

Now all NPM commands fail.
zsh: command not found: npm
Everything from:
npm -v
sudo npm install npm -g
I just used home brew to upgrade NPM and it deleted and reinstalled all the necessary files.
This generally works for me on Mac:
brew upgrade
brew cleanup
brew install npm
(note you'll need the xcode tools if you don't have it - try xcode-select --install or check out this answer.)
Now, try npm install again and see if that changes anything.
Also, see this potentially related answer.
I have trouble with installing gulp-cli.
npm install -g "gulpjs/gulp-cli#4.0"
I am getting this error.
npm ERR! code 1
npm ERR! Command failed: C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin\git.EXE checkout 4.0
npm ERR! error: pathspec '4.0' did not match any file(s) known to git.
npm ERR!
Sorry for this question but what I am doing wrong with this?
Guy the last version of gulp-cli is 2.0.1, to install a specific version just run npm i -g gulp-cli#VERION-THAT-YOU-NEED maybe you would like to install gulp that is on version 4.0.0-alpha.3 , for it just run: npm install gulpjs/gulp#v4.0.0-alpha.3
Is it because of network proxy settings in my machine? Also I am under corporate firewall.

To set up android automation in linux:
a) linuxbrew installation: https://github.com/Linuxbrew/linuxbrew
b) Download and extract android sdk to home folder: http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r24.4.1-linux.tgz
c) Set android sdk path:
Open file by command:
sudo gedit ~/.bashrc
Add these lines at the end of the file:
adding linux brew path
export PATH="$HOME/.linuxbrew/bin:$PATH"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$HOME/.linuxbrew/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
#android
export ANDROID_HOME=/home/asci/android-sdk-linux
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
Close the file.
Run the command:
source ~/.bashrc
e) Run these commands one by one:
android
(It will open the sdk manager, and install all the sdk tools from the Tools folder and Android 6.0 API 23)
brew install node
npm install -g appium
appium &
(It will start the appium server needed to run automation)
Get out of firewall or business network and try from a personal data network. It'll work. It worked for me.
Then try "npm install -g appium"

for some reason node -v outputs nothing in terminal
I have the latest node installed:
WebstormProjects # sudo apt-get install node

node is already the newest version.

The solution at this link has worked for me:
http://plaidzooks.tumblr.com/post/36894116867/using-node-js-on-debian-ubuntu-systems
Ubuntu comes with a package that automatically creates a link so the command 'nodejs' can be invoked as 'node' only by creating a link.
sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy
And that got Yeoman working.
Likewise I had this same problem (albeit on a Mac). I uninstalled and upgraded node to the latest version (v0.10.24) but without success.
The symlink fix did work for me, although with a slight tweak:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/node /usr/bin/node
I believe this may be due to the way which node was installed on your system. Apparently, sometimes when installing Node via a package manager, the linked binary is nodejs, (thus nodejs _command_ is the command that works on your machine, not the much more common node _comamand_. You can either re-install Node (the latest version is now 0.10.24) from nodejs.org, or try this solution from this related issue:
For anyone wishing to still use their OS's package of node the simple solution for this is to determine where node is installed on your OS and then create a symbolic link.
For example I had the issue on ubuntu and the install directory is /usr/bin. To create the symlink you can run:
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node
in windows you can use the mklink command.. Be sure to open the command prompt as a administrator
You have to install nodejs in this way:
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs
I had this same error on a clean Ubuntu 13.10 install and no amount of sym linking (node > nodejs) or installing/uninstalling helped me.
I don't have a deep enough understanding of the node environment to troubleshoot it properly but I was able to install Yeoman globally by cloning the repo and removing the postinstall check from package.json.
If anyone else want's to try this solution:
Clone Yeoman..
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/yeoman/yo
Edit the package.json..
nano yo/package.json
.. to remove these lines..
"scripts": {
"test": "grunt",
"postinstall": "node ./scripts/doctor",
"postupdate": "node ./scripts/doctor"
},
Then, install it using npm..
cd yo
npm install -g
If you want to clean up you can remove the Yeoman repo..
cd ..
rm -R yo/
Obviously your mileage may vary but it's working fine for me so far.
I also noticed I was able to successfully run the doctor.js script independent of the installation process. No idea why it was failing so hard in the first place..
On Ubuntu 14.04, I tried both installing the legacy package (per Antonio's answer) and creating the symlink manually (per Stephen's answer). Neither worked. The Ubuntu package has version 0.10.25 of node.js, but Yeoman seems to require a newer version.
After installing the latest version of node.js from NodeSource (currently v6.9.1), I was able to install Yeoman using npm install -g yo .
To solve this problem you need to install the package nodejs-legacy.
sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy

I am new to NodeJS and NPM, so I don't understand the response.
Does anyone have an idea how I can fix it?
You want to run the latest node (currently 0.10.22). Try these steps to get the newest version:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/node.js
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs -y # newer nodejs package includes npm
And then try again on npm install express.
Update your npm
npm install -g npm
This was a bug in an earlier version of npm: https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/4984
You may get warnings when you update. Run the update one more time and you should see a clean npm install.
While the solution by #Jim worked well, if you feel the need to update NodeJS, you can do so via the n package:
sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable
If you are sitting in corporate network then worth pointing registry to your corporate registry/artifactory and trying.
npm config set registry
