I try to install express-generator, but I receive a curious error message

I've searched every SO question even closely related and everything I've tried hasn't worked. Any ideas? I can post the debug log, but it is quite long and I can't get it to format correctly. Let me know if this would be helpful.

~/desktop/node_tutorial $ npm install express-generator -g

Looks like it wants you to be an administrator:

...
Please try running this command again as root/Administrator
...

Try sudo npm install -g express-generator
