Answer 1

You need to update all of your globally installed NPM packages. Run this command from your console:

npm update -g

This command will update all the packages listed to the latest version (specified by the tag config).

It will also install missing packages.

When you specify the -g flag, this command will update globally installed packages. If no package name is specified, all packages in the specified location (global or local) will be updated.

Answer 2

I had permissions issues with some of the directories under /usr/local/lib/node_modules. I must have installed some packages with sudo but most under my own user id. I solved this issue on a Mac with these commands:

sudo chown -R `whoami` /usr/local/lib/node_modules/
sudo chgrp -R admin /usr/local/lib/node_modules/

Answer 3

Try running npm uninstall -g generator-karma

Answer 4

i was able to install simply by:

npm install karma-generator

Guess it installs a later version of Karma. I was able to successfully install generator-angular after that. Was able to get coffeescript going as well after doing the above.

Answer 5

I had a similar issue and I did this in terminal:

rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules/karma-*

and then updated the package.json:

  "devDependencies": {
    "karma": "0.12.0",
    ...
  }

then reinstall

sudo npm install karma

It worked for me

Answer 6

It fixed it by running this command, which installs the latest version from GitHub:

$ npm install -g git://github.com/iamblue/generator-angular-ui-router.git
