issue with npm and polymer-generator?

[rchrdnsh]

When I try to create a new polymer-generator project i get this code at the end of the process:

I do not know what commands that I am supposed to run again. I tried running sudo yo polymer, but the same issue arrises.

Not sure what to do here :-(

If you scroll up the generator will tell you that it's running npm install for you.

Try upgrading npm and run npm cache clean.

I tried that once, but it did not work, although I may have done it incorrectly. I will try it again and report back to you if the issue is resolved. :-)

ok, I ran npm update and npm cache clean then generated a new project and it worked. Thank you Sindre :-)

I am getting somewhat similar issue. I ran npm update and npm cache clean but still getting similar error.
