Any error or other information?

I had the same issue. I was running npm install with root privileges, but when npm executes install script it tries to downgrade privileges and fails to install napa packages in current directory because it does not have enough rights to write there. The error message was:

npm WARN lifecycle undefined~install: cannot run in wd %s %s (wd=%s) undefined napa ... /var/www/html

Solutions are:

  1. run npm install without root privileges in directory with correct permission;
  2. run npm install --unsafe-perm which will prevent npm from downgrading privileges.

Also here is a good resource installing node/npm without needing sudo: https://gist.github.com/isaacs/579814

Closing this as it works for me.
