Answer 1

I found this problem on Fedora Core 22 too when install latest Apache Cordova ( version 6.0.0 ) the problem may npm miss something about permission check when install with sudo npm install -g cordova.

npm ERR! enoent ENOENT, rename '/lib/node_modules/.staging/abbrev-cxxxxxx'

npm ERR! enoent ENOENT, rename '/lib/node_modules/.staging/abbrev-xxxxxxx'

So solve this problem with run as root ( sudo -s ) and run npm install -g cordova again the problem will solve. ( In my environment ).

For my environment ( Fedora core 22 ) it does not need to reinstall node from nodejs.org
