Error while installing yeoman

I am trying to install yo on my ubuntu v16.4 LTS but i get this error:

npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: this package has been reintegrated into npm and is now out of date with respect to npm
npm ERR! Linux 4.4.0-22-generic

As you see, I have the latest npm and nodejs, and I am in root mode so I still don't get it why its throwing this error. Any help please:)

Thanks to @jcollum to help me find the solution, the problem was that yo needed to install some plugins in sudo mode (this was not possible since installation was automatic by yo). Setting the prefix of npm to home would solve the issue of using sudo each time u need to install new package. Just follow this tutorial and you should be able to install [email protected].

It seems that this error occurs when you are trying to install the latest version, which was released today (2016/04/18): 1.8.2

Please try to install the previous version:

sudo npm install -g [email protected]

This is working for me now. Tested on a clean virtual machine with OS X El Capitan v10.11.2, node 4.4.4 and npm 3.9.0 and on my developer machine with OS X 10.11.5.
