Installing Gulp with nvm fails - npm

I'm a little stumped with this one. Same problem if I try to install -g. The package.json file is empty so not really sure.
{21:32}~/dev/repo/fo-website ➭ npm install gulp
npm ERR! Darwin 14.4.0
npm ERR! argv "/Users/leejohnson/.nvm/versions/v0.12.7/bin/node" "/Users/leejohnson/.nvm/versions/v0.12.7/bin/npm" "install" "gulp"
npm ERR! node v0.12.7
npm ERR! npm v2.11.3
npm ERR! file /Users/leejohnson/.npm/clone/1.0.2/package/package.json
npm ERR! code EJSONPARSE
npm ERR! Failed to parse json
npm ERR! No data, empty input at 1:1

the solution was simple enough: delete the package.json file. Not sure where it came from and why it was empty, but removing it solved the problem.

ElectronJs: Not able to install "install.js:22 throw err"

I am starting with Electron js and I have stumbled on the very first step which is installed Electron.
I am running the following command to install electron provided at

npm install electron-prebuilt --save-dev
Following is the result of the command

Does C:\Users\vikas\Desktop\electron apps\example\package.json exist? If not try running npm init to create it, and then run npm install electron-prebuilt --save-dev again.
this is bug and a workaround is provided on github : Source
Here is the workaround:
rm -rf ~/.electron/
rm -rf ~/.atom/
npm cache clear
npm install
I was facing a similar issue. But opening the command prompt as administrator (Windows) and reinstalling electron fixed the issue.

Uninstall node, it should remove npm.

yodoctor: command not found when installing yo from terminal

Below is the error I keep getting. It seems to indicate a "post-install" issue with yodoctor. Sadly yodoctor is the advice given by the yeoman team to help with this issue. I have other node_modules installed (bower, grunt, typescript).
sh: yodoctor: command not found

This error is generally caused because someone used sudo at some point and messed up their npm package directory permissions. As a rule of thumb, never ever use sudo.
So how can you fix it? Here's a couple troubleshooting points:
Make sure you update npm to the latest version (npm install -g npm). npm 2.x had some race conditions that would try to run yodoctor before it is installed.
Make sure the global npm module folders is chown/chmod to your user.
Make sure npm module binaries is in your PATH.
If nothing works, then you can force install it by running npm i -g yeoman-doctor && npm i -g yo - but that really is a last recourse solution.
Just the following command would do the trick:
sudo npm install -g yo
if not, find where yo is, add it to the path as follows:
export PATH="$PATH:<path where yo is installed>"

npm intstall: binding.node is missing

I tried to install npm on my local machine (Mac OS) but when I run npm start, it keeps giving me this error with node_sass. Even when I run
sudo npm install node_sass
it doesn't fix the problem.

Looked around and these people are experiencing a similar error due to binding.node missing from SASS.
