what could be the issue? other packages install like a charm...

You appear to have a connectivity issue. The permissions errors can mostly be ignored, since they are followed by the log message saying it is attempting to use a different temp location.

The error that is causing the installation to fail is you can't seem to connect to the npm registry.

Based on what http://status.npmjs.org/ is showing me at the time I'm writing this.. do you happen to live somewhere in the Asia/Pacific region that is served by the NZ server?

I live in Europe (Germany) .. btw. I also tried from the european repo. but I got the same result :(

Are you behind a proxy of some kind? I find it odd that npmjs.org is only refusing your connections if you are trying to install strongloop. Is there anything different about how you're installing strongloop vs other npm modules, like running as a different user?

I'm not behind a proxy, at least none that I know of. All of my npm modules are being installed by my root user. could it be possible that my little snitch firewall is blocking ? but when I install other modules it asks me if I want to allow the terminal to access the internet. I dont remember if it asked me when I tried to install strongloop... I have deleted my Node and npm installation and downloaded Node v0.10.36 and updated npm to the latest version (2.9.0) - now everything seems to work... could it be a problem with node v0.12.2 that was stopping me? will it be a problem if I use v0.10.36 instead of the latest node version?

I faced the same problem. Thanks for the tip. Apparently, npm version 2.7.4 was causing the problem. For all those still trying to figure this out, just update npm to the latest version (command "sudo npm install npm -g") and it will be fine.
