I ran into the following problem when installing Yeoman:

Exit status 127 npm ERR! npm ERR! Failed at the yo@1.1.2 postinstall script. |
It turns out the problem was a permissions error with my node_modules directory. The following command fixed it:
sudo chown -R `whoami` /usr/local/lib/node_modules
If you think this may be the problem you can check the ownership of your directories with:
ls -l ~/.npm and ls -l /usr/local/lib/node_modules
| Privileges | Owner | Group | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Check that owner of the files match the whoami command. In this case, it is indeed me. But if it isn’t you then above command will fix your node_modules directory permissions and
sudo chown -R `whoami` ~/.npm
