Why do I get errors when installing gulp plugins on OS X?

Question

Command line

On the command line I type npm install gulp-jade gulp-livereload --save-dev
and this is what it says:

pool-192:project admin$ npm install gulp-jade gulp-livereload --save-dev

There are no rights, but if you install via sudo , then there are no errors, but still the plugin is not installed. What is the problem?
PS Worth the latest version of OS X 10.9.5

Answer 1

In short, I deleted everything, reinstalled OS X, installed
node.js. I tried installing gulp without sudo: I got the
same error "npm ERR! Error: EACCES, mkdir", etc.
Installed with sudo:
And everything worked, modules are now installed without requiring sudo, no more errors.

Answer 2

Chown the /Users/admin/.npm directory to your user. You apparently put something through sudo (which global module).

Answer 3

Sergey Protko : I have the same trouble, what folders I just didn't chown $(whoami) still a lot of errors!

Lazuren:htdocs lazuren$  chown -- r `lazuren`  /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm
-bash: lazuren: command not found
chown: r: illegal user name

A piece of code from the terminal, tell me what I'm doing wrong?
And this error with the command npm install --save-dev gulp
