cordova cli installation error
Solution 1
I just want to add an official answer to Swaminathan Vetri suggestion. Here's exactly what I did to resolve:
sudo npm cache clean
make sure to run with sudo
and then,
sudo npm install -g cordova
again make sure to run with sudo.
Thanks!

Thank you all for your answer, i have had the issues resolve from all of your contribution. This are the step i followed.
- npm cache clean
- Bring back the node version to v0.10.36 as suggested that the latest version of node may not be compatible for the new cli for window users.
- Run the node cli or cmd in admin mode
- npm install -g cordova
Thank your all for your time and contribution
Solution 3
try running the command
npm cache clean
first
and then re-install the package by running
npm install -g cordova
Solution 4
I had faced a similar issue. Running the command prompt as an Administrator solved my issue. Try that option as well if you have not already tried.
Solution 5
I had exactly the same issue during Cordova installation, but on Ubuntu 14.04.
sudo npm cache clean
Resolved my problem.

Please i need you help as am in the middle of a project, maybe any other sources of installing cordova on my machine except from npm will be appreciated or any ways to fix this issues.
Thanks.
