@KlausEichinger
I am afraid this is not enough context to be able to assist you.

What exactly are you trying to do ?
Where did you start off, which commands did you perform up-to the error provided ?

[AlexTCarneiro]

Hi. Can you please provide the command line? Also, have you tried to add sudo at the beginning of your command line? Please let us know. Cheers...!

[clydin]

I'd also suggest updating npm.

[KlausEichinger]

Thank you for you interest. I tried to install a new angular project via angular-cli. In Terminal I called 'sudo npm install -g angular-cli'. Like it is recommended on cli.angular.io. This attempt failed several times with error message as written above.

My MacOS, Node and npm are up to date as you can see above.

Lieber Klaus

Du musst schon mehr herausrücken.
Mit dem Wenigen, dass Du preisgibst, können wir Dir nicht wirklich helfen.

Du kannst mal damit anfangen, dass Du genau angibst, was Du genau wo eintippst.
Sonst sind wir nur noch am Raten und Mutmassen, was echt niemanden weiterbringt.
Weniger vage beschreiben und mal konkret Dinge beim Namen nennen.

Wie hast Du z.B. nodeJS installiert, das fehlt komplett.

Also, der Ball ist bei Dir.

Ich verwende i.Ü. ebenfalls macOS Sierra 10.12.2, nodeJS 7.4.0 und npm 4.1.2.
Habe vor wenigen Stunden npm von 4.0.5 auf 4.1.2 aufgefrischt, ohne Fehler.

[catull]

If you search for the error "Cannot find module 'github-url-from-git'", there are plenty of hits, such as nodejs/node#3540.

Most of the hits suggest to get rid of your node installation, and re-install nodeJS.

Is that an option for you ? Your installation seems to be broken.
I have installed nodeJS for a long time, every 2 to 3 months.
Never had to de-install a version, never had to delete the folder /usr/local/lib/node_modules/.

[KlausEichinger]

Hallo lieber @catull,

ich arbeite nicht erst seit heute früh als Entwickler. Was verstehst nicht du nicht daran, dass ich ein Angular(2) Projekt aufsetzen möchte? Dazu möchte ich angular-cli nutzen. Mit Node und npm arbeite ich auch schon etwas länger ;)

Wie du aus dem von npm erzeugten und oben zitierten Protokll ersehen kannst, sind alle Komponenten auf neuestem Stand. Wenn du also etwas konkret wissen möchtest, stelle bitte auch konkrete Fragen.

@GuriSoft the command line output is

FYI: https://cli.angular.io/

[catull]

What happens if you re-install ng CLI ?

sudo npm uninstall -g angular-cli
sudo npm cache clean
sudo npm install -g angular-cli

Same error ?

[catull]

Do you have node modules in /usr/local/lib/node_modules, as well as in /Users/klaus/.npm ??

[KlausEichinger]

What happens if you re-install ng CLI ?
I did twice. Same error.

On my office mac I'd installed angular-cli successful two weeks ago. But I can't find any differences in the settings.

[KlausEichinger]

Do you have node modules in /usr/local/lib/node_modules, as well as in /Users/klaus/.npm ??

I don't think npm is the problem. I can install other components like bootstrap via npm.

[catull]

Have you thought of giving yarn a chance ?

[KlausEichinger]

Not yet.

I try to combine angular w/ react, because of a better rendering from react components. My experiences w/ npm are throughout positive.

[catull]

Actually, yarn is a different node package manager/installer.
You'd have to install it from npm, or install it from https://yarnpkg.com/.

Once installed, you can do this:

sudo yarn global add angular-cli@latest

It works super-fast.
Just did it again, and it was done in just under 70 seconds.

Can you try this ?

[KlausEichinger]

I just tried to install Yarn. Sounds fine. But npm failed!

I will go up and clean up my Mac manually tomorrow.

[catull]

You see, about the same problem, to do with "Cannot find module 'github-url-from-git'"
When was the last time you were able to install something successfully ?

[catull]

On my Mac, this is what I get with

npm -g list github-url-from-git

npm -g list github-url-from-git
/usr/local/lib
├── UNMET PEER DEPENDENCY @angular/compiler@<=2.3 >=2.2.0

│   └── github-url-from-git@1.4.0
├── UNMET PEER DEPENDENCY requirejs@^2.1.0
└── UNMET PEER DEPENDENCY tslint@4.2.0

Very suspicious, npm version 2.15.9 !!!

[KlausEichinger]

Do you have node modules in /usr/local/lib/node_modules, as well as in /Users/klaus/.npm ??
in /usr/local/lib/node_modules there is a npm folder, in /Users/klaus/.npm there only a folder w/ node-modules-path

When was the last time you were able to install something successfully ?
between the last two weeks ago

I am afraid, a clean-up is a MUST now.
But, if you successfully install angular-cli after that, please report back.

[KlausEichinger]

I will do the clean-up and report. Thank for supporting

[catull]

Gern geschehen.

[KlausEichinger]

Installed packages for tooling via npm.
Project 'angularreact' successfully created.

After removing manually all node* occurrences 
([helpful link](http://stackabuse.com/how-to-uninstall-node-js-from-mac-osx/) 
and reinstalling Node – it works

@KlausEichinger

I am glad it is working for you now.
Thanks for letting us know.

By the way, the link is better rendered this way: helpful link, you added an extra '(' in front. You could have added an extra ')' at the end and it would have been correctly rendered, too.

You can see the textual effect of your comment by switching between the "Write" and "Preview" tab, before you submit it.

After the fact, you can always go back and choose the "pen" symbol to edit a comment you wrote.

Glad you were able to find a solution to your issue, closing.
