so trying install grunt typing next terminal (through /usr/local/bin):

but result:

...and doesn't happy! can help me out here?

note: tried doing usr, without /local/bin came errors too.

i same result (osx 10.9.5). doesn't matter you're running command - i'd expect you'd see exact same paths erroring out.

the problem appears npm wants set globally installed packages under /usr/local/ (per https://www.npmjs.org/doc/files/npm-folders.html, executables in /usr/local/bin , modules in /usr/local/lib/node_modules on *nix systems, here includes osx). not writable user on mac.

your options few:

you installing local project instead of globally (omit -g). mean need reinstall bundle in other project in want utilize it. means you'll need set path when access project point binaries (e.g., grunt) under project (export path=$path:./node_modules/bin), script, may still annoying.

you can run install 1 time again sudo, there risks there (pointed out in http://stackoverflow.com/a/25259232/1795230).

finally, can alter 'prefix' (via npm config set prefix ~/npm), presented here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/21712034/1795230. has downside of not beingness "global" real (just global projects of user) pointed out in comment npm won't install bundle on mac. new, clean build. `eacces` & other errors, may work out fine, depending on situation (works me on local dev machine).
