Answer 1

For me on Ubuntu only the following worked for me...

Ubuntu

Tested on Ubuntu 14.04.2

This was a base install of Ubuntu 14.04.2 on VirtualBox using ubuntu-trusty-64.

I had just installed node and npm fresh and they were working well.

npm install -y -g yo
echo export PATH="$HOME/npm/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.bashrc
npm config set prefix ~/npm
echo "export NODE_PATH=$NODE_PATH:/home/$USER/npm/lib/node_modules" >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc
npm install -y -g yo

yes I had to install yeoman, fix the path issues, then reinstall yeoman. based on some answers on this stack overflow post
