Lots of “npm ERR!”s when running `yo angular`

I'm trying to get Yeoman to work but it's been one wall after another. Thank God for stackoverflow and all you nice people helping out. Anyways ...

I've been trying to run yo angular. But I'm getting a bunch of npm ERR! including:

npm ERR! Please try running this command again as root/Administrator.

Since I can't use sudo on yo, I followed the mostly accepted advice and changed some configuration hoping to fix this problem. Here are the commands I ran, which were based on the recommendation.

But I'm still getting the same error!

Here is my yo angular's npm-debug.log

Here is my yo angular's stderr.log

Here is my yo angular's stdout.log

How should I fix these errors?

Thank you so much in advance.

Update:

After alex's suggestion of doing sudo chown ubuntu /home/ubuntu/tmp -Rv, the run as root error did go away, however I still have these errors after running yo angular in a new directory. I'm displaying the errors with cat -n stderr.log | grep -ir err (it's strange that npm-debug.log wasn't generated this time):

Update2: After some research, I solved this new ENOENT problem with sudo npm cache clear.

Thanks StackOverflow.

80 error Error: EACCES, mkdir '/home/ubuntu/tmp/npm-26883-sBYbfAy6'

Okay, so your /home/ubuntu/tmp has wrong permissions. It happened because you did sudo npm install in the past, and npm doesn't handle this well enough.

Run sudo chown ubuntu /home/ubuntu/tmp -Rv to fix this issue, or just delete that folder.

I was getting all kinds of crazy errors even after applying the fixes above, finally I ran "chmod -R 777 /home/[moi]/.npm, and it now runs without any errors.
