问题
I run Win7 and install Ubuntu 12.04.3 in Oracle VM VirtualBox 4.3.6.
First thing I do is try to install meteorite, but get the following error:
npm install -g meteorite
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/meteorite
npm ERR! Error: failed to fetch from registry: meteorite

Apparently, Meteor installs its own node and npm and you shouldn't mix these with system or other node or npm installations.
I was searching this for a long time and created/destroyed many EC2 instances until I found the solution.
After curl https://install.meteor.com | /bin/sh simply export the path so your shell can find Meteor's npm:
export PATH=~/.meteor/tools/latest/bin:$PATH does it for .bash-profile.
This allowed me to easily install meteorite, without sudo:
npm install -g meteorite
I learned this from https://github.com/oortcloud/meteorite/issues/203

This happened to me multiple times now - the solution in this thread worked for me - Install NodeJS on Ubuntu 12.10

Please see the answer here: error when type 'sudo npm install -g meteorite'
Your npm cache needs to be cleaned.
rm -rf ~/tmp
sudo npm cache clear
sudo npm install -g meteorite
