I'm trying to install hem on Ubuntu 12.03 LTS and I get the following:

Seems like 0.16 or later is not in the registry? Puzzled..

I think those issues are mostly from strata incompatibility with older versions of node.

Don't install node from Ubuntu's package manager, which has quite an old version. Follow the instructions here: Should I install node.js on Ubuntu using package manager or from source?

Next, install npm using the npm install script, not the package manager: 

curl https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sudo sh

Finally, I would recommend installing hem from the git repo rather than using npm. The original developer of hem isn't really supporting it anymore and a bunch of new features of hem have been developed in a separate branch, which is up to date in the git repo.

git clone https://github.com/spine/hem.git
cd hem
git checkout version0_2 (or version0_3)
sudo npm install -g .

For further reference, I wrote a post on setting up spine, hem, and other stuff in a Linux environment.

For getting the latest Node.js and npm there is a ppa that works well for ubuntu https://launchpad.net/~chris-lea/+archive/node.js/

Hem on npm should be okay these days so no need to use the github source unless you want some more drastic stuff in the version0_3 branch, but version0_2 branch has been merged to master and will be pruned soon so you should avoid using that going forward.
