Error installing Bower (ERR! tar.unpack untar error)

Question

I get this error when trying to install Bower. Is this a bug or am I doing it wrong? I also have 4707 lines of npm-debug.log file if needed...

Thanks!

When running the command npm install -g mup on Yosemite 10.10.5 I got this error: tar.unpack untar error...

The npm cache clean didn't fix the issue. Putting sudo in front solved the problem and my npm install was successful.
