Jhipster - error EACCESS when updating

When I try to update my jhipster project with 

sudo npm update -g generator-jhipster
sudo yo jhipster

I am getting this error :

npm ERR! Error: EACCES, mkdir '/Users/myMac/.npm/bluebird/2.10.2' npm ERR! { [Error: EACCES, mkdir '/Users/myMac/.npm/bluebird/2.10.2'] npm ERR! errno: 3, npm ERR! code: 'EACCES', npm ERR! path: '/Users/myMac/.npm/bluebird/2.10.2', npm ERR! parent: 'karma' } npm ERR! npm ERR! Please try running this command again as root/Administrator.

npm ERR!

Does anybody know why?

This is not a JHipster issue. You probably have installed node or some npm modules globally using sudo command and now you have this kind of errors.

So either you always use sudo when you install npm modules globally, or a better alternative: you fix your node environment and re-install without using sudo like in this article but you may want to find a more recent once.

Also, JHipster team recommends installing an LTS version of NodeJS not a stable version.
