I see you are using OSX?

I sometimes get this error myself.  
The is just what I do - and it resolves the problem for me.

I delete `.npm`. - and the problem goes away.

`sudo rm -r /Users/emreerdogan/.npm`

Whether you follow that advice is your choice, but you may need to log back on to NPM if you use it, such as deploying packages.

in all my time having to wipe out the `.npm` folder it has not caused me any ill affect.

the worst that happesn to me, is re-downloading packages when I install again, but that is no big deal.
