It's just a warning. You can still use yo. Sounds like you have multiple versions of npm installed. I would recommend you to go through this guide: https://github.com/npm/npm/wiki/Troubleshooting#upgrading-on-windows

I'm using Node 4.20 LTS and getting this NPM error. But my version is the one that is bundled with the LTS:

$ npm --version
2.14.7

This doesn't seem like it should be an error. Using the npm version that comes with the LTS version of Node seems like a sensible thing to do that shouldn't be causing an error. This should be a warning at best.

npm@3 just didn't make the LTS release. npm@3 fixes so many issues that we would usually have to deal with. It's not an error. Just a very strong recommendation to upgrade. Pushing users to upgrade reduces the support burden for us, which means we can focus on actual features and issues instead of wasting time on endless npm install support triaging.

When you put it in red text with a frowny face and a red x it sure looks like an error. You're sorta stuck with NPM 2.14.7 for a while; unfortunately I guess. I'm reluctant to use NPM 3 with Node 4 LTS specifically because it wasn't bundled. Who knows what sort of problems that could be creating...

npm update -g

So I just fixed this by doing :

1. /bin/bash -- login
2. sudo apt-get remove --purge node
3. sudo apt-get install nodejs
4. sudo apt-get install npm
5. npm update
6. sudo npm install -g yo generator-kraken bower grunt-cli

Note : 1. was the most important step in my installation ;)

I ran into same issue. Node version 4.4.2 and npm 2.15.0. I choose this version spec since it is LTS.

It would be appropriate to have yeoman run well with LTS version of node & npm.

You need to download latest version of node.js and npm Like(node.js v 6+ and npm v 3 +). Then it's works
