Answer 1

Whenever you get module.js:338 throw err; try to check whether npm is installed in your machine or not.

UserName$ npm -v

If you get the version name, then it's clear that npm is installed.

If you don't get the version name, there is some problem with your installation or it is not installed.

To install npm, type this command in your Terminal:

UserName$ curl -0 -L http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sudo sh

Also notice I added sudo before the sudo sh command depending on your users permissions.
